portupgrade won't change an origin for a downgrade

[Joel Hatton]

Hi,

I've a situation where I need to downgrade apache from www/apache22 to
www/apache20. (Reason is because I want to play with mod_security and _it_
doesn't seem to want to play with 2.2) It has a fair whack of dependencies
and I will need to rebuild those to suit - php in particular, as it tends
to put things into different places depending on apache version.

Now, the command I figured would just do the job is this:

portupgrade -rpf --batch -o www/apache20 apache\*

This _should_ change the origin of the current apache port to www/apache20,
rebuild it and all downward dependencies and build packages for each. But
it doesn't:

    --->  Reinstalling 'apache-2.2.4_2' (www/apache22)
    --->  Building '/usr/ports/www/apache22'
    ===>  Cleaning for apache-2.2.4_2

     To enable a module category: WITH_<CATEGORY>_MODULES
     To disable a module category: WITHOUT_<CATEGORY>_MODULES

     Per default categories are:
      AUTH AUTHN AUTHZ DAV CACHE MISC
     Categories available:
      AUTH AUTHN AUTHZ CACHE DAV EXPERIMENTAL LDAP  MISC PROXY SSL SUEXEC THREADS

      To see all available knobs, type make show-options
      To see all modules in different categories, type make show-categories
      You can check your modules configuration by using make show-modules

    ===>   apache-2.2.4_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.59 - found

    and so on....

I guess that -o isn't compatible with -f in the way that I'd like it to
be (and in the way that the man page might imply) so... What's my best
option here? I can deinstall and reinstall apache (and I have to force the
deletion as it is because of the deps) but then my dependency list is shot
unless I record it before I proceed.

thanks,
joel
