How to install old component version

[João Luís]

Hi,

When we list components (i.g. gcloud components list --show-version) it shows the installed and the latest versions available.

How to install old component version?

Some background on why we need to install old component versions.

We build images using packer and upload them to gcloud.

These images are used to create jenkins slaves on demand, these jenkins slaves are used to build and deploy apps to appengine and have several types of software (.i.g. docker, rvm, jruby, maven,...).

We need to install old components version, to have the guarantee that we aren't going to brake the jenkins job when updating an image (the most frequent changes aren't the upgrade of gcloud).

  

Best regards

You can pin the cloud SDK to a specific version.

Download a specific version:

export CLOUDSDK_COMPONENT_MANAGER_FIXED_SDK_VERSION=0.9.57

curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

Pin a specific version:

gcloud config set component_manager/fixed_sdk_version 0.9.57

This in turn should pin the components too.
I am not exactly sure how to pin only 1 component.

The recommended way to get a specific version has changed:

If you need a specific version, we recommend grabbing one of the static archives: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads#versioned

You can get older versions from here: https://storage.cloud.google.com/cloud-sdk-release

There is also a `gcloud components install` command which lets you manage your components without upgrading versions so you don't need to worry about being pinned: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads#manage_an_sdk_installation

If you'd like to upgrade/downgrade to a specific version, you can run `gcloud components upgrade --version 100.0.0`, for instance.
