以下是我如何降级KOPS（不支持版本控制）

# brew has a git repo on your localhost
cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core

git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core (push)

# find the version of kops.rb you need
git log Formula/kops.rb

# checkout old commit
# kops: update 1.18.1 bottle.
git checkout 2f0ede7f27dfc074d5b5493894f3468f27cc73f0 -- Formula/kops.rb

brew unlink kops
brew install kops

# now we have old version installed
ls -1 /usr/local/Cellar/kops/
1.18.1
1.18.2

which kops
/usr/local/bin/kops
ls -l /usr/local/bin/kops
/usr/local/bin/kops -> ../Cellar/kops/1.18.1/bin/kops
kops version
Version 1.18.1

# revert to the newest version
brew uninstall kops
git checkout -f
brew link kops
kops version
Version 1.18.2

brew版本和brew安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/现在不支持<COMMIT-HASH>/Formula/<Formula>.rb。

您可以这样尝试：

$ brew extract --version 5.6.2 gradle vitahlin/core
$ brew install gradle@5.6.2

UPDATE：此方法已弃用，不再有效。

此方法导致错误：不支持从GitHub提交URL安装mysql！brew将mysql提取到GitHub上的稳定水龙头。（用法错误）

$ brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c/Formula/mysql.rb

我尝试使用推荐的命令进行安装，但它在MySQL 5.7.10的这个特定实例中不起作用。你可能会有更好的运气与更新的公式。

您可以在上面的路径中修改公式（用ruby编写），以尝试实现所需的结果（例如，在最近的macOS版本上安装MySQL 5.7.10）。

您可以使用识别公式和公式历史记录中与您要安装的软件包版本匹配的特定提交的策略。

去https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core按键盘上的t启动文件查找器。确定一个看起来最相关的公式，可能是：formula/mysql.rb，将您带到forumla文件位置：https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mysql.rb.单击历史记录按钮查看修订历史记录，该按钮位于https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/mysql.rb.如果您对MySQL 5.7.10感兴趣，可以单击5.7.11之前的最新版本，该版本导航到GitHub提交：

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c#Formula/mysql.rb

注意：如果提交历史没有加载到浏览器中，您可能需要根据GitHub的建议在控制台中查看提交历史。如果您有兴趣在GitHub上看到提交，请在URL中替换上面的提交SHA。或者，跳到下面的步骤7。

应用提交后，单击“查看”按钮查看mysql.rb文件的源代码。然后单击“原始”按钮查看原始源。复制URL。或者，使用mysql.rb文件名自己构建URL，以标识您的公式和该公式的特定版本（由以下URL中的commmit SHA标识）。

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c/Formula/mysql.rb

使用$brew Install[步骤7的URL]安装它$brew安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c/Formula/mysql.rb

更新日期：2015年1月15日

查找所需软件和版本的提交历史记录。例如，我需要从docker版本1.4.1切换到1.3.3：https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/docker.rb使用此按钮查看文件：单击“原始”按钮：从地址栏复制URL（本例中为docker.rb URL）brew install＜url＞（可能必须首先brew unlink，例如brew unlinkdocker）酿造开关装卸工1.3.3切换回码头1.4.1酿造切换码头1.4.1

根据这一要点

brew update
brew versions FORMULA
cd `brew --prefix`
git checkout HASH Library/Formula/FORMULA.rb  # use output of "brew versions"
brew install FORMULA
brew switch FORMULA VERSION
git checkout -- Library/Formula/FORMULA.rb    # reset formula

## Example: Using Subversion 1.6.17
#
# $ brew versions subversion
# 1.7.3    git checkout f8bf2f3 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.7.2    git checkout d89bf83 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.17   git checkout 6e2d550 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.16   git checkout 83ed494 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.15   git checkout 809a18a /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.13   git checkout 7871a99 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.12   git checkout c99b3ac /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.6    git checkout 8774131 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.5    git checkout a82e823 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# 1.6.3    git checkout 6b6d369 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# $ cd `brew --prefix`
# $ git checkout 6e2d550 /usr/local/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
# $ brew install subversion
# $ brew switch subversion 1.6.17
# $ git checkout -- Library/Formula/subversion.rb

我发现了比其他复杂解决方案更好的替代方案。

brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/postgresql8.rb

这将下载并安装PostgreSQL 8.4.8

我通过开始遵循搜索回购和回购中的注释的步骤找到了这个解决方案。

经过一番研究发现，有人收集了一些罕见的配方奶粉。

如果您正在查找MySQL 5.1.x，请尝试一下。

brew install https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions/master/mysql51.rb

编辑：2021，由于github安装被弃用，这个答案不再起作用。（感谢蒂姆·史密斯的更新）。

安装旧的酿造包版本（Flyway 4.2.0示例）

查找本地自制程序gitdir或本地克隆homebrew/homebrew内核

cd/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/Homebrew/Homebrew内核/

OR

git克隆git@github.com：Homebrew/Homebrew-core.git

列出所有可用版本

git log master--Formula/flyway.rb

复制所需版本的提交ID并直接安装
