mongodb を 3.4.1 から 3.2.11 にしたかったのでやってみた。
homebrew-versionsはdeprecatedだし、あんまり使いたくないなーと思ってたので使わずに。
Env
brew -v # Homebrew 1.1.8-64-gc507222 # Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 35fb7; last commit 2017-01-29)
Workflow
# Try to find the commit id brew log --author=brew-test-bot@googlegroups.com mongodb # Search 3.2.11 and copy the commit id (COMMIT_ID_3_2_11) # Move to formula manager cd "$(brew --repo)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core" # Change the revision of the formula you wanna install git checkout $COMMIT_ID_3_2_11 Formula/mongodb.rb # Stop the service if needed brew services stop mongodb # Unlink the current formula brew unlink mongodb # Install the version you changed brew install mongodb # Check the installed formula ls "$(brew --repo)../Cellar/mongodb/" # Back to the latest commit git reset -- Formula/mongodb.rb # To unstage the formula. git checkout -- Formula/mongodb.rb # Restart the service if needed brew services start mongodb
