 |
|
Hi All,
Can you please tell me how to install a lower version package using Portage (For e.g I want to install eclipse 3.3 but the current version in java-overlay is 3.4. So, how can I select version 3.3 to install.) Also, what is the command to tell the different versions of a package available.
Thanks

In the Overlay, there is currently no lower version than 3.4.1 available.
You can always specify specific ebuild atoms by using (in the case of eclipse) =dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.3.1.1-r2 This would install this version from the normal portage tree.
To see which versions are available, use emerge -s to search for ebuilds. Or, better, install eix and use this to search within portage.
Cheers

| You could also mask the latest version you don't want. Of course there has to be a lower version available, otherwise it gets really ugly. |
