Re: sip 4.10.2

"...but nothing..." Is that really all you're going to post about your issue?

What about some build output? error messages? your edited PKGBUILD?

Also, read the wiki's downgrading page, it's helpful.

Actually this problem is fixed with the latest version (0.7.15) of the plasmoid.  Just update it and it's fine with current sip (4.11.2-1).

Cheers!

Re: sip 4.10.2

its no big deal about changing pkgbuild version:

 pkgver=4.11.2 

to

 pkgver=4.10.2 

...
output was:

$ makepkg -s -i

...just like with pacman -Sy sip-4.10.2...
and actually, wiki doesn't say much about downgrading.

Anyway, I have tryed to install gmail plasmoid 0.7.15 agin with latest sip and its working!
I just dont have a clue why it hasn't work yestorday!
thanks....

Re: sip 4.10.2

@greengold,

You can't pacman -Sy sip-version-number, pacman doesn't work like that. To downgrade you need to -Su an older version of the package. Search for 'downgrade' in the wiki, it gives COMPLETE instructions.

And the error you got on makepkg was that the source file could not be found. It was probably moved, did you go to the website and try to find it?

Re: sip 4.10.2

that wasn't about installing package from disk but about installing older version from repositories

You can't.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade

Please refer to the wiki whenever you have questions, THEN ask here if you don't understand its answers. Google is also a good source of information.

Re: sip 4.10.2

I was wondering about using pacman -Su for downgrading as you have told me  and as I expected ther is NO mention about it in wiki so I was asking...
In my opinion use pacman -Su was misinformation from you and I can search wiki or google whole day without any chance for succeed.
