Hiya folks,

Like a goof I didn't ask portupgrade to back up my beautiful Samba3.0.5 and
when I went to Samba3.0.11 everything in Samba went to pot, IMO.

The only upside is that in my ports/distfiles is a nifty file named
samba-3.0.5.tar.gz.

The question I have is how can I build from that 3.0.5 tar file?

Help is greatly appreciated :)

Hi,

first, you could check out an earlier version of the ports tree.
Thu Jul 22 14:38:05 2004 UTC was the exact time, the 3.0.5 went into
ports.

But!!

why don't you tell us, what exactly is not working or bad with
samba-3.0.11? it would be much better to fix the bug's or solve the
problems you are expiriencing instead of going back to an old version and
getting back all the bad bugs which are fixed in 3.0.11.


awaiting your detailed problem report for 3.0.11 Joerg
Joerg,
I'll have to compile it. When I get that done I'll list what ever issue(s) I am 
having.
Since I have two machines, and I was thinking the second one was being 
tempermental that's when I decided to take the first computer and also put 
3.0.11 on and had the same problem (I'll list the problem(s) I'm having when I 
get it finished and set up as per 
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2464512
 )
While I'm compiling 3.0.11 on one system, what would I need to do to get 3.0.5 
back on the other? I found portdowngrade but I've never used cvs before and 
tried going through the tutorials but they seem rather cryptic, or perhaps 
lacking because a few years back I remember them being a bit more user friendly 
( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html )
Thanks for your assistance.

okay, a very short description... as i'am in germany i use the german CVS mirror.

prompt> touch ~/.cvspass
prompt> cd /usr/ports/net
prompt> rm -r samba3
prompt> cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs login

- --> Now the you are asked for a password, please type: anoncvs

prompt> cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs co \
- -D"Thu Jul 22 14:38:05 2004 UTC" samba3

thats all. now the samba3 port is at version 3.0.5 and you should be able to build and install it.

Joerg
