Downgrade to 1.36.x from 1.37

Post by goatman64 »

I'm stuck ... I've been running 1.37 for a while as I needed the newer zmeventnotification enhancements. Now that those enhancements exist in 1.36 I'd like to run 1.36.x.

At one point the do_debian_package.sh with --snapshot=stable script downgraded my install to 1.36.x

After a couple of weeks .. I did another do_debian_package.sh and my install jumped back to 1.37.

I populated the new ppa for 1.36 and tried the apt route but can't get back to 1.36.x

I've tried --reinstall apt flag and apt indicates it will DOWNGRADE but nothing happens ... my install continues as 1.37.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance

sudo apt-get install zoneminder=1.36.4-focal should do the trick. Assuming you running ubuntu focal. Replace with the name of whatever distro you are using.

In my many attempts to get this work I tried the -s ...

Once I got the full version correct I was able to downgrade to 1.36.5

apt install zoneminder=1.36.5-focal1

One follow-up question ... if you use the do_debian_package.sh with --snapshot=stable ... shouldn't that pull the 1.36 branch?

As always, many thanks for all the work that goes into Zoneminder.... awesome stuff!
