Description j.habenicht 2007-05-16 13:34:26 UTC
Hello,

reason is: the avm driver in misdn-1.1.3 crashes on my machine.
I would like to step back to misdn-1.1.2,
BUT misdn version 1.1.2 was removed on 6. May from public database.

I think the version 1.1.2 was removed too early!
Why? Well, version 1.1.2 would not hurt anyone (imho), so why remove it and leave only 1 version left in the portage tree?


Workaround for me:
Get the *.ebuild from gentoo-cvs,
but this way I may miss some patch files.


Possible fix:
- let 2 or 3 versions left in portage for the user to choose
- let the user do: echo "=net-dialup/misdn-1.1.3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask && emerge net-dialup/misdn


regards 
Jörg

Thanks can you please also tell that upstream misdn devs so that they can debug this and hopefully release a 1.1.4?

I have re-added 1.1.2 for you :)
