installing old version of amber

[Siemen Baader]

Hi,

I have an old project from 6 years ago [1] that I want to use again, but I didn't put in the proper requirements in package.json. I think I used a setup back then which was recommended on amber-lag.net at one point which has a vendor/ directory with amber and requirejs in it that all my projects back then shared. But I don't have it anymore and I don't know which version it was - other than it must have been before Nov 8, 2013 which my latest commit is from.

The index.html file [2] references:

<script src="../vendor/amber/support/amber.js"></script>

<script src="../vendor/amber/support/requirejs/require.min.js"></script>

Any hints to how I can identify and recreate the required amber version?

Thanks,

Siemen

As seen in CHANGELOG file, it must be before 0.12.0, which is really
very old.

I don't have the clue after that much time... maybe just put amber from
those times into vendor/ directory?

Alternative, move to newest Amber if you want. It should work if you
create a new empty project with newest Amber, using 'Tutor' for main
class, and then copy old .st over, but keeping the 'up to date' header
(so the package creation and imports are correct), having old class and
method definitions, then recompiling from cli with 'grunt'.

Sounds like the best way to do it. What do you mean by the 'up to date header'? Something in the .st file?

Yes. Using the header part as it is generated by up-to-date `amber
init`, but the actual classses and methods (bulk of the payload) from
old .st file.
