Re: [gentoo-user] downgrading, how?
You can goto the individual directory and select the ebuild you want to emerge. afetr unemerging the one already installed like this: emerge -C xfree cd /usr/portage emerge where-xfreeis/xfree/xfree-0.01 :-) have fun How can I downgrade with emerge? KDE and GNOME will not start anymore. ksmserver crashes and the gnome server also crashes. It does not matter if I use kdm or gdm I have emerged xfree twice but is does not make any difference. So the next thing I'd like to try is downgrading xfree but I don't know how :-( Now I have xfree-4.3.0-r2 how can I get xfree-4.2.0 ? --Kees -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list - Please wait while you are redirected to my signature.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hi Gabriel, Op maandag 9 juni 2003 05:55, schreef gabriel: in a case like this, i usually go the big hammer route and hit everything i can at once: # emerge --unmerge kde qt gnome xfree that will delete almost everything! isn't it? I have unmerged cfree only now (and midnight commander didn't work anymore.. ;-/) and now it is rebuilding xfree. If that does not help, I will try it your way :-) # rm -r /usr/X11R6 /usr/kde wherever gnome is Why? Does unmerge not do that? # emerge /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.2.1-r2.ebuild # emerge kde gnome not exactly the surgen's way to do it, but i've found it works for me. Kde and gnome worked, until I upgraded xfree. I got an error but the 2nd time it emerged ok. Except that I got segmentation faults whe starting kde or gnome, so I think xfree is to blame for that. I will let you know how it goes Thanks for your reply and also mooktaking and Peter. --Kees -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You could copy your xfree-4.3.0-r2 ebuild to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY and then change its KEYWORDS from x86 to ~x86, -x86 or . Then when you emerge xfree it will downgrade it.
