Trying to downgrade Package

CaptainKirk · 2009-06-16 08:33:12

I see here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14909#comment44859 that a solution to a bug I am also running into is to downgrade the package lame. That page there mentions lame-3.98-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, but I don't know where to find that file. I am looking here: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/l … xtra-i686/ but I don't see what I need.

I think this should be very easy. Can someone point out what I am missing?

Thanks.

see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages or you can rebuild it.

Thanks. I found it now at http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/

There's also the Arch Roll Back Machine, mentioned in the wiki. it can be used to roll back your system to a particular date. One convenient consequence of this is that the author has all arch packages going back to 1 october of 08 in an easily searchable location. i've written a script available here that'll let you do this:

> downgrade lame

|   8 | testing   | lame-3.98-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz                      |

 Enter the number of the version to install:

if anyone uses this script, please review it first (there are some variable settings in the first few lines.)
