Now that the linuxport branch is no more, how would one revert to a version prior to 23099?

Any ideas?

i long back to the days where using linux implied that you atleast knew to do 'man command' and 'command --help' before running to the friggan forums.

then came the days of the google. they were happy days.

then people like you showed up and destroyed all the fun + smashed the last small bits of hope i had for humanity in the process.

Yes, I truly am a moron. Everyone happy? Okay, then one question: did the trunk contain all the linuxport files prior to the merge? If so, then there's no issue. I'll just svn up -r happily. If not, then reverting to an earlier version of trunk won't work.

if you are grabbing an older revision you svn up -r the path where the files were at that revision.

You, of course, do everything exactly backasswards. If you need a revision from before the swap, you'll have to svn switch back to linuxport. Maybe switch even takes a revision argument, but this is where the manpage comes in...

That's what I thought, as well. However, because the linuxport directory no longer exists, it wouldn't let me complete a switch (or at least, I couldn't figure out how to do it using svn switch). Spiff was correct, the following worked:

Code:
svn up -r22528 https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport XBMC

This is not exactly an uncommon issue; every week or so since the directx stuff was added I try the latest release to see if it's ready for day to day use then revert back when it's clear it isn't.
