[Downgrade] How to install very older package ?

Spheerys · 2014-03-21 11:22:19

At work, I need to install postgresql 9.1
The current version is 9.3
The downgrade script can install the 9.2 version

How can I do to install the 9.1 version ?

Have you tried this:

What do you need it for?
You can try compiling it from source https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ebcaf15ab4

It's only got 9.2.

Im not sure of the specifics of this package, but you could try grabbing the pkgbuild for the package and changing the version number to 9.1. You can update the source lines in the pkgbuild to a URL that has the source IF that has changed. Then open a terminal where the pkgbuild is located and run:

makepkg -s

This would build a package based on your pkgbuild. You would then install it using:

pacman -U <nameofpackagebuilt>

There used to be a project called vABS that kept older packagebuilds around, but sadly it seems to have died out.

I did post a link to the PKGBUILD.
The package is still in the repos, so you just browse the commit history: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … postgresql

There's another project that can provide older PKGBUILDs - it's called the Arch git repo.

Guys?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1395181 already has a link to a postgresql 9.1.4-2 PKGBUILD.

I hope I didn't get hellbanned ...

I ASSumed that your mention of building from source meant configure/make/make install and that your link was a link to the source site- didnt even process the URL I should have known better since thats never recommended in Arch..

Still a useful link for a noob to find through Google, especially with what tomk mentioned...

But I posted a list of such links in a post before him ... See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1395468 You need to switch to 'tree' view, because 'commit' shows the changes, not the full PKGBUILDs etc.
That's why I'm asking what's going on, as you both didn't seem to notice my posts, but it's all good now :-)

A tip for beginners:
* search for the package you're interested in https://www.archlinux.org/packages/
* go to its package page https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ostgresql/
* click on 'Source Files' or 'View Changes' in the box in the top right labeled 'Package Actions'.

What do these links do? Clink to find out :-)
Unfortunately there's bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30734

Sorry Karol - I blame the whiskey.

Ah, I see.
I believe you need to be punished before you're forgiven. You are required to drink a cup / glass / goblet of that foul-smelling liquid to us and our good fortune :-)

Now where did I put my diva hat ...

It's not too difficult to find the log for stable packages.
* Choose "View Source"
* Choose "root" in the "path:" list
* Choose the "repos" directory
* Choose the right repsitory (e.g. extra-x86_64)
* If you want the history switch now to "log"

Hey guys, sorry about this "necrobump", but vABS is still up and running at https://vabs.archlinux-br.org.

Just the client (vpack) was discontinued. Thanks!

WorMzy · 2015-05-15 11:29:08

Thanks for that information, although a better place for it would be on the wiki.

I'm going to lock this thread before it starts eating brains.
