 Reporter:  dave@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:          |       Port:
--------------------+--------------------------------
 I'm trying to find out how to install a back rev of boost. I gather from
   https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort
 that I have to go to
   https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports
 and find the boost port, then craft an svn command to get the old version,
 something like:
   svn co -r 30810
 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/tcl
 But where exactly is boost? It's not at the top level? No. Is it under
 devel? No. I used the search box, and that was not helpful.

 I did this:

 Z% sudo /opt/local/bin/port info boost
 boost @1.53.0, Revision 1 (devel)
 Variants:             debug, [+]no_single, [+]no_static, openmpi,
 python25, python26, [+]python27, python31, python32, python33,
 regex_match_extra, universal

 Description:          Boost provides free portable peer-reviewed C++
 libraries. The emphasis is on portable libraries which work well with the
 C++ Standard Library.
 Homepage:             http://www.boost.org

 Library Dependencies: zlib, expat, bzip2, libiconv, icu, python27
 Platforms:            darwin
 License:              Boost-1
 Maintainers:          adfernandes at macports.org

 but there is nothing there to help me find the subfolder in the svn
 repository that contains boost.

 I'm stumped.
