Comment:

boost is in the devel category, as port info boost says. You can also see the local path to the port directory with the command port dir boost; you can then extrapolate from that what the path in the repository would be.

We don't want to put information into the port info output about where the port is in Subversion, but we should enhance wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort if it's unclear. Anyone with a Trac account may edit the wiki.

    initial v1  
    11I'm trying to find out how to install a back rev of boost. I gather from
    2   https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort
     2  wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort
    33that I have to go to
    4   https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports
     4  browser:trunk/dports
    55and find the boost port, then craft an svn command to get the old version, something like:
    6   svn co -r 30810 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/tcl
     6{{{
     7svn co -r 30810 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/tcl
     8}}}
    79But where exactly is boost? It's not at the top level? No. Is it under devel? No. I used the search box, and that was not helpful.
    810
    911I did this:
    1012
     13{{{
    1114Z% sudo /opt/local/bin/port info boost           
    1215boost @1.53.0, Revision 1 (devel)
    … …

    2327but there is nothing there to help me find the subfolder in the svn repository that contains boost.
