cd /port/directory edit Makefile and change the version from 2.3 -> 2.0.6 edit distinfo and change version there too. then portupgrade -f portname It will actually downgrade it. I am not quite sure how this blends with the related libraries but it does work. I've used it but mostly during minor version changes, not the major version change like you have. Why don't you deinstall the 2.3 and install 2.0.6 though? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
