Where are 'older' patch packages for 13.37?


I'm looking for seamonkey 2.7.2 and the solibs....

They are NOT in the patches direcotry of most of the mirror sites that I'm googling to.

I upgraded to 2.8, and it has a printing bug that I can't work with...so I wanted to go back to 2.7.2....but WHERE is it now??

It may be a bad assumption on my part, but I thought ALL the patches would STAY in the directory.

Is there an error in my thinking?

Older patch versions are not kept in the repository.

Thanks Eric for your reply.

With the increasingly dynamic nature of software changes....these older fixes should be kept somewhere. There are other factors (space, cost) that drive this decision to 'weed-out' the old stuff.

I can go back to the original version that was shipped on the CDs, but that's too far back.

Does anyone out there on the ether have them?

I did PM ya...

32 bit would be great. Using this on an old ThinkPad A21p. My 64 bit boxes are still running 13.0 with Alien's multilib support, mainly for F@H, WCG and MythTV. If it ain't broke....leave it be!
