[SOLVED] Find newest arch release with a specific version of a package

adrianmay · 2019-12-09 16:56:38

How do I do that?

The scenario is that the update to nodejs 13 called for node-sass to be upgraded to 4.13. But the latter barfed in various ways and its github issues list looks a bit busy already. So I went back to nodejs 11 (the last version I know to work with node-sass 4.12). That's asking for an older libicui18n though and if I downgrade it other stuff complains that it wants the new libicui18n.

So I'd like to choose a snapshot of arch that gives me a consistent set of versions of everything, the only constraint being nodejs at 11 or maybe 12.

How do I find out the arch snapshot I need?

TIA,
Adrian.

That's not how Arch works: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nsupported

Arch_Linux_Archive#How_to_restore_all_packages_to_a_specific_date.
To find the date find the nodejs package in the ALA which shows the dates new versions were added to the ALA.
The repositories also contain nodejs-lts-erbium and nodejs-lts-dubnium.

Seth's second link answered the question. Thanks!

Just one thing though: how did you know to choose svntogit/community? Is that where everything lives? Cos without knowing that the search box just searches for names of repos rather than stuff in them.

Interestingly, using loqs' method I get less info:

nodejs-12.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig 07-Aug-2019 09:11 566
nodejs-12.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 17-Aug-2019 03:03 6M

nodejs-13.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 24-Oct-2019 14:09 7M

than with seth's method which also shows 12.10 til 12.13:

2019-11-05 upgpkg: nodejs 13.1.0-1 felixonmars
2019-10-24 upgpkg: nodejs 13.0.1-1 felixonmars

2019-09-05 upgpkg: nodejs 12.10.0-1 felixonmars
2019-08-27 upgpkg: nodejs 12.9.1-1 felixonmars

Thanks again,
Adrian.

Go to the nodejs package page, then follow the link "view changes".

Also please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

I'm not seeing an obvious way to edit the title

seth · 2019-12-10 15:34:48

by editing your initial posts subject

There's an "edit" link in the lower right corner of your comments.

adrianmay · 2019-12-10 16:00:58

And it has to be the first comment. That was pretty well hidden I'd say.
