Hi there, I'm newby to FreeBSD. I'm using FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE #0 and here is my wish: I would like to fetch the sources for an old port release ( I know I can grab it from ftp-archive.freebsd.org <http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org> but I don't know how to fetch the sources with freebsd command line tools), change the makefile and/or patch the source, recompile and possibly make a package (.tgz) to be installed somewhere else.
My specific questions are: * how to fetch the source code of a port? and especially from another release? * how to unpack, change the makefile, compile? * how to package it again? I've gone through various manuals, without any success so far (at least I've got cvsup installed, that's maybe a start...)
