Can't downgrade nprobe

Hello list, and NTOP Team,

Yesterday I was updating CentOS and Nprobe. Nprobe went from 8.2 to 8.4.
Lucky me, the license was for 8.2 only, and nprobe stopped working. While I
asked for a new academic license (which I truly appreciate) i thought to my
self, better downgrade while i wait for the licence... No luck, as the repo
does not have older versions.

To the NTOP team, I'de like to make a suggestion regarding your CentOS repos.
It would be nice if you left older versions at the repositories. That way
we could use "yum downgrade" to avoid licensing pitfalls...

To the list in general, anyone as an archive of nprobe 8.2 version and
related rpm like ntop, pfring, etc for dependencies?

Thank you
Marco

Yes, please publish all the old historical versions tarballs somewhere.
Many projects do this, and it's often useful for experimentation and use
with older embedded devices that can't run the latest thing, as well as
a reference to validate compromised software, bitrot, etc. Thanks :)
