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? [1] https://reproducible-builds.org/
