Hi, I just upgraded gnucash to 2.2.0 and after playing with it for some time realized that it is not really usable. It starts much slower than 2.0.5, report generation takes forever, and moreover, there is no graphics in the report. Is it possible to revert back to version 2.0.5? I tried deactivating gnucash using `port deactivate gnucash` and then installing old version but it reinstalls version 2.2.0: sudo port install gnucash @2.0.5_2 ---> Unpacking tgz archive for gnucash 2.2.0_0+guile16 ---> Activating gnucash 2.2.0_0+guile16 ---> Cleaning gnucash I also tried this command: sudo port activate gnucash @2.0.5 ---> Activating gnucash 2.0.5 Error: port activate failed: Registry error: gnucash 2.0.5 not registered as installed. What am I doing wrong? Or is it not possible to install old version 2.0.5 of gnucash with MacPorts? Thanks, -Kastus

See http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-July/004452.html for information on how to install an old port. If there's wider demand, I can provide a gnucash20 port. Regards, Marc

That post was about ocaml, not gnucash

Here is what did the trick for me: kastus-shchukas-ibook-g4:~ pike$ sudo port uninstall gnucash Password: ---> The following versions of gnucash are currently installed: ---> gnucash @2.0.5_2+guile16 ---> gnucash @2.2.0_0+guile16 (active) Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry. kastus-shchukas-ibook-g4:~ pike$ sudo port deactivate gnucash ---> Deactivating gnucash kastus-shchukas-ibook-g4:~ pike$ sudo port uninstall gnucash @2.2.0_0 +guile16 ---> Uninstalling gnucash 2.2.0_0+guile16 kastus-shchukas-ibook-g4:~ pike$ sudo port activate gnucash @2.0.5_2 +guile16 ---> Activating gnucash 2.0.5_2+guile16 Regards, -Kastus

Yes, the example was ocaml, but it illustrates the basic concept which can be used for any port: use the repository browser to find the revision of the port that you want, check out that revision, and use port to install from that directory.
If there's wider demand, I can provide a gnucash20 port.

Oh, so you still had the old version installed, just not active. Yes, then that's easy. If you did not have it still installed, then you would need to go through the palaver above because no, MacPorts does not provide a built-in way to install older versions of a port, only the current version.
