Is there a way to downgrade AUR package with yay?

Hi!
I want to downgrade specific package because current version is a bit buggy for me.
I have cached files in ~/.cache/yay directory(previous version any.pkg.tar.xz, pkg.tar.xz, PKGBUILD, desktop, src, etc)
but don't know how to use them.
I don't think the downgrade util works for AUR package cause it's for pacman package or should i try it first?

Just install the required version from your cache directory with pacman.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Then stop using an AUR helper until you do. Outsourcing your thinking to an unsupported third party tool and then asking here for support when it all falls apart is help vampirism.

If you don't know how to use them, how did you install yay in the first place?
