Hans,
How hard is to implement a --downgrade switch (or --upgrade=version) in
ctxtools? It would be as simple as:
1. Go to http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14, parse for the
particular date and download the appropriate files, or
2. Try all files tmf, exa, win|ppc|?? one by one, and download the ones
that are available,
and then unzip the files and remake the formats. This would make going
back to an old version really easy. I don't know if packet managers for
linux like apt-get can downgrade to an earlier version. In any case, this
will be a very useful feature.
Aditya
