 Hi,
     We know that we can not specify version in dependency library but If
 it is possible to activate old version in portfile using TCL script then
 It is good for me.Please reply me If you know something about this.
     Thanks in advance.

Comment (by cal@…):

 OK, so you're trying to do something MacPorts wasn't built for. I'm not
 stopping you, I'm just telling you. Glad you were able to figure it out,
 but that's not something we're going to support in the near future.
