UPDATE：此方法已弃用，不再有效。

此方法导致错误：不支持从GitHub提交URL安装mysql！brew将mysql提取到GitHub上的稳定水龙头。（用法错误）

我尝试使用推荐的命令进行安装，但它在MySQL 5.7.10的这个特定实例中不起作用。你可能会有更好的运气与更新的公式。

您可以在上面的路径中修改公式（用ruby编写），以尝试实现所需的结果（例如，在最近的macOS版本上安装MySQL 5.7.10）。

您可以使用识别公式和公式历史记录中与您要安装的软件包版本匹配的特定提交的策略。

去https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core按键盘上的t启动文件查找器。确定一个看起来最相关的公式，可能是：formula/mysql.rb，将您带到forumla文件位置：https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mysql.rb.单击历史记录按钮查看修订历史记录，该按钮位于https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/mysql.rb.如果您对MySQL 5.7.10感兴趣，可以单击5.7.11之前的最新版本，该版本导航到GitHub提交：

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c#Formula/mysql.rb

注意：如果提交历史没有加载到浏览器中，您可能需要根据GitHub的建议在控制台中查看提交历史。如果您有兴趣在GitHub上看到提交，请在URL中替换上面的提交SHA。或者，跳到下面的步骤7。

应用提交后，单击“查看”按钮查看mysql.rb文件的源代码。然后单击“原始”按钮查看原始源。复制URL。或者，使用mysql.rb文件名自己构建URL，以标识您的公式和该公式的特定版本（由以下URL中的commmit SHA标识）。

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c/Formula/mysql.rb

使用$brew Install[步骤7的URL]安装它$brew安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/c77882756a832ac1d87e7396c114158e5619016c/Formula/mysql.rb

家庭酿造最近发生了变化。以前有用的东西现在不管用了。我发现最简单的工作方式（2021 1月）是：

找到我的软件的.rb文件（首先转到公式，找到我需要的文件，然后单击“历史”；对于CMake，这是在https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/cmake.rb)从修订中选择所需版本，例如3.18.4，单击.rb文件diff（…）右上角的三个点，然后单击Raw。复制URL。取消链接旧版本brew取消链接cmake直接从gitURL安装不再有效（brew-installhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/2bf16397f163187ae5ac8be41ca7af25b5b2e2cc/Formula/cmake.rb将失败）相反，下载它并从本地文件curl-O安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/2bf16397f163187ae5ac8be41ca7af25b5b2e2cc/Formula/cmake.rb&&brew安装/克马克.rb

瞧！现在可以删除下载的.rb文件。

这些都不适用于我的案例（Python），所以我将添加我的2美分：

cd `brew --prefix`
git log Library/Formula/python.rb

输出如下所示：

我想要2.7.11版本，所以我的哈希是cf5da0547cd261f79d69e7ff62fdfbd2c2d646e9（简称cf5da05）。接下来，我检查该版本并安装公式python：

git checkout cf5da05
brew install python

最后，清理：

git checkout master

按照@halfcube的建议，这非常有效：

查找您要查找的库https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/tree/master/Formula单击它：https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/postgresql.rb单击“历史记录”按钮查看旧提交：https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/postgresql.rb单击所需的选项：“postgresql:update version to 8.4.4”，https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/8cf29889111b44fd797c01db3cf406b0b14e858c/Formula/postgresql.rb单击“原始”链接：https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/8cf29889111b44fd797c01db3cf406b0b14e858c/Formula/postgresql.rbbrew安装https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/8cf29889111b44fd797c01db3cf406b0b14e858c/Formula/postgresql.rb

简单工作流

现在Homebrew/versions已经被弃用，Homebrew/core支持一些具有新命名格式的公式版本。

要安装特定版本，例如postgresql 9.5，只需运行：

$ brew install postgresql@9.5

要列出可用版本，请使用@进行搜索：

$ brew search postgresql@
==> Searching local taps...
postgresql@10.1 ✔     postgresql@9.4        postgresql@9.5        postgresql@9.6

解决方案

brew extract --version=8.4p1  openssh homebrew/cask
brew install openssh@8.4p1

最新的openssl@8.5p1在我运行brew升级后出现错误，因此我通过上述方式成功地备份到了以前的版本。
