How Do I install specific version of netCore on redhat linux

Question

I'm trying to install an specific version of netcore on Redhat but doesn't matter which strategy I use I'm ever getting the latest version of the package.

For example if I run:

yumdownloader --resolve rh-dotnet20-dotnet-0: 2.0.0-4 .el7.x86_64 --nogpgcheck

It will download:

(1/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-2.0.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | 4.3 kB 00:00:00
(2/11): libunwind-1.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | 57 kB 00:00:00
(3/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-host-2.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 172 kB 00:00:00
(4/11): libicu-50.1.2-15.el7.x86_64.rpm | 6.9 MB 00:00:00
(5/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-runtime-2.0-2.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 20 MB 00:00:01
(6/11): rh-dotnet20-libcurl-7.47.1-1.3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 248 kB 00:00:00
(7/11): rh-dotnet20-lttng-ust-2.8.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 233 kB 00:00:00
(8/11): rh-dotnet20-runtime-2.0-6.el7.x86_64.rpm | 1.1 MB 00:00:00
(9/11): rh-dotnet20-userspace-rcu-0.9.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 89 kB 00:00:00

(11/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-sdk-2.0-2.0.3-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | 34 MB 00:00:03

Which is the same if I run:

yumdownloader --resolve rh-dotnet20-dotnet-0: 2.0.6-1 .el7.x86_64 --nogpgcheck

(1/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-2.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 5.1 kB 00:00:00

(3/11): libunwind-1.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | 57 kB 00:00:00
(4/11): libicu-50.1.2-15.el7.x86_64.rpm | 6.9 MB 00:00:01
(5/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-runtime-2.0-2.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | 20 MB 00:00:01
(6/11): rh-dotnet20-libcurl-7.47.1-1.3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 248 kB 00:00:00
(7/11): rh-dotnet20-lttng-ust-2.8.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 233 kB 00:00:00
(8/11): rh-dotnet20-runtime-2.0-6.el7.x86_64.rpm | 1.1 MB 00:00:00
(9/11): rh-dotnet20-userspace-rcu-0.9.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm | 89 kB 00:00:00
(10/11): rh-dotnet20-dotnet-sdk-2.0-2.0.3-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | 34 MB 00:00:01
(11/11): scl-utils-20130529-18.el7_4.x86_64.rpm | 24 kB 00:00:00

Is there a way to force YUM to install the specific version that I need? Thanks!

Answer 1

The two commands do not have the same effect. One commend downloads rh-dotnet20-dotnet-2.0.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm , the other one downloads rh-dotnet20-dotnet-2.0.6-1.el7.x86_64 .

However, the specified version does not extend to the dependencies which are automatically installed. So if you want rh-dotnet20-dotnet-host in version 2.0.0-4.el7 , you need to specify that version explicitly as well.
