Package searched

Postby mikmo » Oct 23rd, '17, 09:30

I'm looking for this package:

x11-driver-video-sisimedia-0.9.1-9.20091203.23.mga6.i586.rpm

Is there a chance to get it anywhere?
Here http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ is only the 26 yet.

Hi there, it might help if you would add the particular reason why you require that specific version?

For your question, you'd only be able to build this for yourself, as the oldest mga6 package is already the core_release one:
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/p ... 6.i586.rpm

You would need to checkout revision 1043289 from SVN and then build it locally:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view= ... on=1043289

Of course you may know why I need the package.
I want to create a deb-package using alien in order to install it in Ubuntu 16.04.

This latest version does not match the xorg version in 16.04.

It does not change anything, I need this:

x11-driver-video-sisimedia-0.9.1-9.20091203.23.mga6.i586.rpm

I was hoping there was an archive for outdated packages.

No, as that specific version was built only for cauldron, before mga6 was released. And on cauldron, the next version always replaces the previous version for each package, and there is no archive.

I can try to build that specific revision but that might only be in a few days or so.
