+----[ Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@marcuscom.com> (29.Aug.2003 15:21): | Hi Joe! [snipped] | > Also, if you happen to know of a better way of deinstalling | > files for which no +CONTENTS is available, and from a port | > that is currently at a newer version, please let me know. | | What you can do is remove the various /var/db/pkg directories, then | reinstall the same version, then do a pkg_delete (if you really wanted | to get rid of those ports). If you just want to restore the +CONTENTS | files, remove the /var/db/pkg directories, then reinstall the ports. | | Joe | +----] Of course. 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?
