Hello! Will you bring some links to the materials or projects or fosdem videos
where I can clear why is to use old versions of packages? Why developers need
this feature?
Sorry, I had not found such messages in Russian linux forum about how to setup
environment of previous software versions. The only discussions I heard were
how to update without breaking the system and which package manager breaks less
often.
Even the Reproducible Builds Project [1], connected to one of GNU Guix
features, does declare the purpose like verification that code has no backdoors:
"The motivation behind the Reproducible Builds project is therefore to allow
verification that no vulnerabilities or backdoors have been introduced during
this compilation process."
I only want to find areas and to read about it, where OS users need to use old
versions. I suppose it is embedded systems. But may be something else?
