Easiest way is to just checkout an old ports tree. This will get you one two hours before xorg-new was committed. Delete all your xorg- related ports: # pkg_delete -x xorg xf86- (and any other patterns I've forgotten) # <<EOF cat > supfile *default host=ftp.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/tmp/beforenewxorg *default base=/tmp/beforenewxorg *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix ports-all date=2012.04.21.15.00.00 EOF # csup supfile # mv /etc/make.conf /etc/make.conf.bak && echo "PORTSDIR=/tmp/beforenewxorg/ports" # cd /tmp/beforenewxorg/ports/ Then reinstall the xorg port. Make sure your portupgrade/portmaster tools ignore them for updating purposes-- you can safely rm -rf /tmp/beforenewxorg. Feel free to subsitute /tmp if you don't have enough space (you'll need ~5G at least to be safe, or redefine WRKDIRPREFIX). Hope that helps, Chris _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
