make install in previous port version

Hi,

I've recently updated apache20 to the latest version via the ports (and many others).

- My php installation is 5.2.12 and i dont want to upgrade it to 5.3.3
- Php modules like mod_ssl doesnt work after the update and I think I should recompile
php and extensions.

Right now I have php5* in HOLD_PKGS in pkgtools.conf

In /usr/ports/lang/php5 the make file has the : PORTVERSION=5.3.3

Is there a way to make deinstall reinstall the 5.2.12 version of php?
Is it safe to run: portupgrade -a -x php5* in order to recompile my software?

Thanks in advance,
 
As you have seen the php5 ports was moved to PHP 5.3 a while back, which if you take no action to prevent it this results in portupgrade/portmaster attempting to update you from 5.2.
When the ports moved to 5.3 a new port was created, php52. You need to install this one. On systems where I dont want PHP 5.3 I have been uninstalling the php5 port and all modules and reinstalling php52 and all modules.
If there are any cleverer, easier ways to do this someone will probably tell us :P

thanks Andy.
