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
