[indiana-discuss] upgrading to an older release

[Yiannis Mavroukakis]

Sorry Peter I'll explain. Say I am at svn_110, will doing
pkg -R /mnt install entire at 0.5.11,5.11-0.109 a) downgrade my 110 BE to 
109? If so
will it downgrade the existing packages I have installed to 109 or 
install the default packages
for 109?

Thanks!
