Greetings...

Shortly after my trouble report about Grip, on March 20, the
maintainer of Grip was kind enough to fix the problem that caused Grip
to fail on my installation.

Regretfully, I was unable to report that good news. I am able to
report this bad news:

Grip 3.3.1, the development version, now fails on the same machine:

 uname -a
FreeBSD whisperer.chthonixia.net 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2
#0: Sat May 15 11:47:55 EDT 2010
root@whisperer.chthonixia.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WHISPERER  amd64

This is a fresh ports tree, with no obvious failures related to Grip
in the recent portupgrade.

After upgrading Grip using portupgrade, Grip simply dumped core; after
reinstalling Grip, I could see a brief dialog box in which I was told
"This is a development version; if you have issues, please revert to a
stable version."

So, three things: my trouble report, and my request: can someone please
provide me with a pointer to an FAQ for reverting to an earlier
version of a port, in case the maintainer cannot remedy this latest
issue? I can't seem to find one. Finally, if there is some sort of
debugging build for Grip I can install, or a backtrace I can obtain,
please let me know and I'll look at doing that.

Thanks for any assistance, and best regards,

Joe
