One suggestion: use csup to fetch ports-all and specify different releases as your tag in your supfile. Then you can do whatever you like with the different versions of the ports tree that you have fetched.

It is my understanding that you can't fetch different versions of the ports tree via csup based on release tags, but I could be mistaken. > >See: > >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html > >-- >Janne Snabb / EPIPE Communications >snabb(a)epipe.com - http://epipe.com/ >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Ports tags for releases are along the lines of RELEASE_X_Y_Z_SOMETHING (it's a big long string) or FREEBSD_X_Y_Z_RELEASE or something like that. They're not advertised, but they are there. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I also need the package availability information on previous release, such as, what the version of package 'A' on FreeBSD 6.2 and FreeBSD 7.0. So, the linked file seems only contains information for FreeBSD 8.0, am I wrong? -- Regards Tao Wang _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
