Nope, it doesn't. I now have this in /etc/make.conf:
USE_PERL=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
PERL_PORT=perl5.8

Nevertheless portmaster -v lang/perl5.8 still tries to fetch perl 5.8.9,
not 5.8.8. portdowngrade doesn't work at all either:

# portdowngrade -s:pserver:anoncvs(a)anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
lang/perl5.8

portdowngrade 0.6 by Heiner Eichmann
Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree
unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6!

It looks like I didn't read carefully enough: the vulnerability in
rmtree() also exists in 5.8.8:

Apologies,

Hmmm --- try it like this. I've no idea why trying to downgrade the port
using the name lang/perl5.8 or even lang/perl5 doesn't work. Seems fine
if you say lang/perl though.

# portdowngrade -s anoncvs(a)anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs lang/perl

Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree
unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6!

Seeking port lang/perl ...

Found several matches:
1: lang/perl5.10
2: lang/perl5.8

Please choose one: 2

Downgrading port: lang/perl5.8

Step 1: Checking out port from CVS repository
CVS root directory: anoncvs(a)anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
The authenticity of host 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org (216.87.78.137)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 53:1f:15:a3:72:5c:43:f6:44:0e:6a:e9:bb:f8:01:62.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org' (DSA) to the list of known hosts.

Step 2: Reading the port history from the CVS repository

Step 3: Analyzing the port history from the CVS repository

Step 4: Load port version numbers and present results

Portmaster only works with what's in your ports tree, it does not have
any built-in capability to go back in time. If you wanted to use
portmaster to do this you could adjust the port to the version you
wanted and then invoke the command you posted.


hth,

Doug

Thanks a lot, not only this, but the :pserver: part was also redundant
in this case, despite being suggested by the portdowngrade man page.

Let's see how the install goes.
