Package managers often don't have a way to install specific old versions of a package, or multiple versions of a single package. That's the whole point.
- wyuenho 5y agoYes there is, but may not be granular enough to the patch level, they usually end at the major or minor level. But then again, I've never ran into or heard of anyone that needs a very specific semver of a language runtime for a project. It could happen, and when it does, you switch to pyenv, rbenv or nvm. There's still not a reason to use asdf, as a poster pointed out, asdf version resolution is slow and you need to reshim, which is yet another manual intervention you'll need to do.
