    2525Subversion can be used as well to fetch an older port, and is simpler for one that has a files/ subdirectory.

    27 === Step 1: '''Finding the right revision''' ===
    28 Follow Step 1 earlier to find the right revision for the port you need, eg, 30810.

    30 === Step 2: '''Checking out the port''' ===
    31 Check out the revision you found for the port, you'll need that revision number and the category/portname path to the port (lang/tcl for tcl).  Then you use svn to check out the port at that revision:
     29Install Subversion:
     30{{{
     31sudo port install subversion
     32}}}
     33This step is optional for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and later, which already include a Subversion client, but you may want to install it from MacPorts anyway because its version is likely newer than the one included with your operating system.

     35=== Step 2: '''Finding the right revision''' ===
     36Follow Step 1 earlier to find the right revision for the port you need, e.g. r30810.
     37
     38=== Step 3: '''Checking out the port''' ===
     39Using the revision number, port category and port name, check out the port directory at that revision using the `svn` command:
    3240{{{
    3341svn co -r 30810 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/tcl
    3442}}}
    35 This creates a tcl directory in your current location, and populates that with everything the port should need to build.  Replace the 30810 and lang/tcl with the correct revision and category/portname for your interested port.
     43This creates a tcl directory in your current location, and populates that with everything the port needs to build.  Replace "30810" and "lang/tcl" with the correct revision and category/portname for the port you're interested in.
