I just looked their after you said that, and it is no longer there.
So lets say i want to download wine 4.8 and i get the .deb from pkgs.org
If i put all the wine packages in a folder and run
dpkg -i * would that do the trick?
Or should i just start building from source....?
I am still slightly confused because if the wine repository has all the previous wine versions why cant you enable it to search an older package?
Are there any package managers that enable you to search older package versions on a developers repository?
I thought the only reason apt couldn't search the entire repository was because it would flood the terminal with a stupid amount of packages.
Correct me if i am wrong?
I know the
dpkg -i has a force downgrade option but than i go back to dependency hell (
the real hell) if i do that.
The idea of having to download every single package part by part sounds kind of daunting.
Just seeing if there is a more effective way of doing this.
