[SOLVED] How to rollback one version in -current?

asarangan · 06-24-2022, 08:16 PM

The latest update to kernel 5.18.6 broke a few things, and I am unable to compile vmware. I would like to go back to 5.17.3, but I am not sure where to find these packages. The -current tree does not contain prior versions. I looked in kernel.org, but I am not sure how to make slackware packages from that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check out the slackware.uk cumulative mirror. It will have the packages you are looking for.

OP - I suggest reverting to 15.0.

To safely run -current, keep a local snapshot of the last known good tree. Then you will be able to roll back.
