Transmission 3.00_3 core dumping, no transmission 2.94 in ports, where to get old package?

This is generic problem... but in this case for transmission.

Transmission 3 latest is core dumping within jail, so I wanted to install old 2.94 which is no longer in packages or ports.

I wanted to take it from freebsd 11 but since All is forbiden on package servers i cant find the pkg name.

How to get older version?

Finding the package name is easy, search the port on https://freshports.org/search.php , look in the ports package table, there you find the version number, add it to the port name, append .txz (i.e. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/transmission-gtk-3.00_3.txz ) but in this case it won't help, there are no 2.95 packages anymore, except for aarch64/armv6/armv7.

In your place I would open a bug report.

The default answer is always update upgrade your system.
Someone might answer how old you are allowed to go into jails without running in problems.

I dont have issues with jails, and since I am actually running openvpn in another fib in jail and the whole thing is working like this for ages, I am probably old enough ;)

I only have issues with software that core dumps and doesnt provide debug symbols.
 
Damn, just built a transmission 3 daemon to debug it and it stopped core dumping. Smells of writing over the buffer... will investigate. Anyway thank you guys.
(specially Alain, I loved the age remark :D and I agree with it, but you shouldnt conclude the age based on using transmission)
