Downgrade packages checking both local cache and the

[A.L.A.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive), which is the

default behavior:

```

# downgrade foo bar

```

Downgrade packages, specifying multiple cache directories:

```

# downgrade --pacman-cache /path/to/cache --pacman-cache /path/to/other/cache foo bar

```

Downgrade a package with any of the following version-filtering operators `=`,

`==`, `=~`, `<=`, `>=`, `<` and `>`:

```

# downgrade 'foo=1.0.0-1' 'bar>=1.2.1-1' 'baz=~^1.2'

```

Downgrade a package, looking in only local cache:

```

# downgrade --cached-only foo

```

Downgrade a package, looking in only the A.L.A.:

```

# downgrade --ala-only foo

```

## Configuration

Command-line options can be set persistently in

`/etc/xdg/downgrade/downgrade.conf`.

## Development & Testing
