How to build against a specific minor or patch version?

[aethernet]

Hello,

I need to target a specific minor, not the latest.
I see it's available in pkg-fetch repository, but i can't figure out the target syntax to use it.

I tried manually downloading and putting it in the cache folder, even renamed as fetch-... or built-... and followed the instruction in pkg-binaries readme, but it doesn't help. Pkg still download the latest, even i if i align the node version on the host.

Any clue how to do that?

So after digging in the code of pkg-fetch, I have found a hack which is:

• replace the minor in node_modules/@yao-pkg/pkg-fetch/patches/patches.json (only the key, not the patch, as we're not going to apply the patch)
• add the proper hash at the end of node_modules@yao-pkg\pkg-fetch\lib-es5\expected-shas.json (copied from the release notes of @yao-pkg/pkg-fetch repo)
• start my build, and it fetch the correct minor 😅

this will do until node fixes the regression I'm facing

easier alternative is to simply download the patch manually and use the env var to specify the patch to use
