linuxgeek: [nslu2-linux] Re: older ipkg kits?

Optware package changes are all recorded in subversion.

1) Follow the instruction on
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware
to get optware subversion checkout;

2) Then do "svn log make/freeradius.mk | less" look for the commit that upgrades it from 1.1.7, in this case it's 8749;

3) You'd want to "turn back the clock"
The command probably is "svn up -r8749"

4) Build toolchain, and try to build the package

I think I've noticed that in order to build unslung toolchain, you'd need host gcc 3.x

Good luck,
