installing older package from aur

hatry · 2010-12-25 18:40:44

how do I revert to an older package from the aur? I installed the new build of utorrent and it won't run so I was wondering how to revert back to the old build? thanks

There really is no way. The AUR has no concept of versioning PKGBUILDs. Unless you have the old built package lying around, you'll need to change the pkgver on the PKGBUILD and rebuild it yourself.

The archstuff repo has utorrent 2.2.0.build_23235-1.

Alright, thanks for the quick responses.

If you use an AUR helper like clyde or bauerbill, there is a chance that you still have the package in /tmp/bauerbill or whatever temp folder your helper creates.

Or the package cache, if you use bauerbill's "CacheBuilt" option.

I'm using yaourt, is bauerbill better?

Some would say it is, fewer would say it isn't, and others might recommend Clyde or one of the other AUR helpers instead.

This is Arch. Try the alternatives yourself and make up your own mind about which one is best for you.

If I was the author, I would have just responded "yes"!

Well, my first thought was "of course it fscking is", but in the spirit of the forum I gave a more diplomatic answer.
