Two packages with different versions on a one system

Hi!
I want to have a new version of ansible and an old version of ansible on one system.
Is it possible to do?

Re: Two packages with different versions on a one system

It is theoretically possible to create a package, that installs an alternative version of an existing package on Arch. A large amount of patching would be necessary in this case. However, I'd recommend looking into something like docker or systemd-nspawn, or, depending on the task, a virtual machine.

Or just run ansible from checkout - Ansible/running-from-source
