Selecting version of package?

Does pacman have support for different verions of a certain package?
If that's the case, how do I list/select the different versions?

Re: Selecting version of package?

If you have unofficial repos that provide a 'duplicate' package (ie a custom build of a package or a more recent build than the official repos) you can always do

pacman -S $reponame/$package

For rolling back you should keep your pacman cache. Arch has rolling releases so if you 'need' an older package you either have to get it from a mirror that syncs slowly or from your own pacman cache.
