- eumoria 9y agoSome uses in apt will have python3 then have python3-3.4 subdivision but usually that's because an update broke something and it's usually removed when the issue is resolved (also this is distro specific) I don't know if brew does anything like this however, but I know in the apt environment that's usually how multiple versioning is done.
- mikemcquaid 9y agoWe support multiple versions with `foo@x.y` packages but we don't support it for many packages or many versions. It's easy to create an maintain these yourself, though: https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.html https://docs.brew.sh/How-to-Create-and-Maintain-a-Tap.html
