aerocms project aerocms DOWNGRADE

Affected: 0.0.1

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.0.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy aerocms || rpm -q aerocms || aerocms --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.0.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison aerocms sudo apt install aerocms=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.1> sudo apt-mark hold aerocms

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list aerocms sudo dnf downgrade aerocms-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.1> sudo dnf versionlock add aerocms

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
