need to install php5-json-5.2.9, not newer version

[gnychis]

Hi all,

I need to install php5-json, and the versions of PHP5 and modules right now are all version 5.2.9:

[root@moo /var/www]# pkg_version -v | grep php
php5-5.2.9                          <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-bz2-5.2.9                      <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-ctype-5.2.9                    <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-dom-5.2.9                      <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-gd-5.2.9                       <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-iconv-5.2.9                    <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
php5-mbstring-5.2.9                 <   needs updating (port has 5.4.4)
...

However, as shown, port wants to update everything to 5.4.4. This is not my machine and I really do not want to go through a PHP upgrade process. Many others use this machine and I don't want to break anything they have working. I simply want to add json on top of it.

What is the easiest way to do this? I was hoping to just find the port .tbz file and manually install it, but I can't seem to find it.

Try sysutils/portdowngrade to downgrade your necessary ports to the appropriate version then install the downgraded version of them.

You may want to inform them PHP 5.2.9 is End-of-Life and contains quite a few security issues, including several serious ones.
