Topic: Downgrade minor php version

Hi, I currently run php.x86_64 7.0.33-7.el6.remi @remi-php70 but would like to downgrade to 7.0.30.
I've tried yum downgrade, but no luck yet.
How can I do that ?
Thanks !!

Re: Downgrade minor php version

Why such need ? 

1/ PHP 7.0 have reach its end of live in January

2/ Since 7.0.27, new version only includes security fixes

So, in all case, you have a big security issue, and I recommend to consider updating to a supported version.

BTW, if need you can manually download old package from the online archive and install them manually

Ex: http://rpms.remirepo.net/store/php/common/7.0.30/

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi

It was for debugging purpose, but you're right, we won't use it on production.
Thanks a lot !

Re: Downgrade minor php version

I am currently facing a similar need - In PHP 8.1.22 and 8.2.9 there is a very specific bug introduced related to MSSQL PDO and I need to revert to the previous minor version (8.1.21 or 8.2.8). Is there an easy way of doing this, or is the only option to manually download a previous package?
