But then my question goes again, how do I install the same version? I mean how do I go back in time and instead of imake-4.3.0, install 4.2.0_1? Am I right in thinking that cvsweb is my friend for this? Then, how do I choose from the different revisions of distinfo/Makefile/files/scripts/pkg_plist those that correspond to 4.2.0_1? I can choose a particular date and then get the latest revision for that date. But do I have to do this for each file? Perhaps there is some tag or thingy that I'm missing, and that I can use for this ... Perhaps not cvsweb, but cvs or cvsup? Thanks, Fernan -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan
