getting the previous version of AUR source through git

javeree · 2016-03-14 12:51:14

I can download a snapshot of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86 … sisimedia/
* through the website,
* or on a command line, I can execute git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xf86-video-sisimedia.git

Now I want to get a snapshot of the PKGBUILD and matching files as they were on '2016-01-13 14:30'.
This is the date and time the package was first submitted in AUR. Later that same day, commits were entered to upgrade to 1.18. Now I want to build the package for xorg-server-1.16, so I need the originial submission.

What git command would I need to give to get a clone of the package source on or before that specific date ?

I would prefer that to manually undoing all the changes of the latest submit.

Use git log to show you all of the commits. Decide which one you want, then use git checkout to check out the hash of the chosen commit.

This is what I get:

git log https://aur.archlinux.org/xf86-video-sisimedia.git
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

however git clone returns a copy of the latest sources.

You run those commands from in the repo, ie after you clone it.

You do all of those commands inside the directory you cloned.

cd into the folder where you stored this specific clone, run "git log" there.
