Subject: [gentoo-user] Reinstalling older Packages
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:43:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110620084327.GA6013@BiggerBoxer> (raw)

Hi,

how is it possible to reinstall an older Package from
/usr/portage/distfiles/<package>, when the corresponding
ebuild /usr/portage/<topic>/<package>/<version>.ebuild
does not longer exists? Is there an option, to keep older
ebuilds intact during emerge --sync?

thanks in advance
regards
f. schwidom
