Hi ports@
What URL(s) do I need under
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/
to get to the Attic for last copy of eg ports/mail/demime ?
How is one supposed to find URLs /svn rev nos ?
(I have a local svn if it helps, but was looking on web)
demime was removed after release date 2012-01 of 9.0.0
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_0_0/mail/demime/
I want to know not just URL but also How to find last URL/ svn
revision numbers, as I'm trying to rescue & upgrade a few ports from oblivion.
I presume there's some better way to search than binary search
(repeated splitting & re-search in the middle between narowing dates) ?
Hi Julian,
with viewvc only it is not that easy, but with (svn) command line.
$ grep demime /usr/ports/MOVED
mail/demime||2011-12-28|Has expired: No upstream development since 2007
$ svn log -qv -r '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
r288196 | rene | 2011-12-28 18:49:04 +0100 (Wed, 28 Dec 2011)
Changed paths:
...
M /head/mail/Makefile
D /head/mail/demime
...
Setting 288195 as sticky revision in viewvc we get this URL
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/demime/?pathrev=288195
There is also an entry in the ports FAQ in the Committer's Guide:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/article.html#ports-qa-re-adding
I think I could make a good case for moving that ports FAQ into the
Porter's Handbook, even if it is for committers. Certainly bringing
back old ports is not uncommon for porters or committers.
