jonschlinkert parse-git-config DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.0.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy parse-git-config || rpm -q parse-git-config || parse-git-config --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison parse-git-config sudo apt install parse-git-config=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold parse-git-config

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

dnf --showduplicates list parse-git-config sudo dnf downgrade parse-git-config-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add parse-git-config

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.
