 |
|
Hi,
I had fully functional 2.6.4-ck, then my computer crash. So I tried lates kernel versions (2.6.7ck1, ck2, love7, ck5) but nothing works fine for me. I would like to go back to 2.6.4-ck kernel, but it is no more in portage. Where can I find and download old versions of anything?

The portage CVS repository can be browsed online at http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/. For your particular problem you need to go to http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sys-kernel/ck-sources/ and get ck-sources-2.6.4-r2.ebuild. Don't forget that you also need the corresponding patch files, which may or may not be still on the distfiles mirrors. If they're not there and also not on Con Koliva's site, run | Code: | | emerge --nodeps -pf "=sys-kernel/ck-sources-2.6.4-r2" |
, note the URLs, especially the filenames, get them from somewhere (Google helps) and place them in /usr/portage/distfiles.

|

It does not work ...
| Quote: | Holly ck-sources # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v =ck-sources-2.6.4-r2
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-kernel/ck-sources-2.6.4-r2 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) patch-2.6.4-ck2.bz2
>>> Preparing to unpack...
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/ck-sources-2.6.4-r2/work
* FATAL: unable to locate:
* /usr/portage/sys-kernel/ck-sources/files/ck-sources-2.6.4.CAN-2004-0075.patch
* for read-only. The file either has incorrect permissions
* or does not exist.
!!! ERROR: sys-kernel/ck-sources-2.6.4-r2 failed.

why? GOOGLE dont know this file ... ck-sources-2.6.4.CAN-2004-0075.patch what can I do?
Everytime when I thing I start to understand it ... it change... grrr
So, I tried ck-source-2.6.4-r1... revision 1.2 (there are no CAN patchs) and its WORKED !!!! (((-: I just succesfully emerged it.
HOW-TO emerge old version of <application>
1) Download <application>.ebuild from
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/
to /usr/portage/<appgroup>/<application>
2) Check which files you need
emerge --nodeps -pf "=<appgroup>/<application>"
if some files not on distfiles servers you have to find them by Google and download them to /usr/portage/distfiles
3) Make a package digest file
ebuild <application>.ebuild digest
3) and finally emerge it ((-:
emerge =<application>
Enjoy it ((-: Thanx to moocha

You're most welcome, we aim to please 
Addendum to above HOWTO: Some ebuilds require Gentoo-specific patches (look for lines containing the word epatch and/or patch in the ebuild). You'll find those on the CVS server in the files subdirectory of the same location from which you got the ebuild.
Wooff - maybe you'd like to reformat this and post it as a HOWTO in the Documentation forum?
