how to install specific version of HHVM in ubuntu

I have installed the HHVM version 3.8.0 debug version in Ubuntu 14.04 trusty.

But this particular version has bug when HHVM crashes the stack-trace log file is empty (HHVM github issue)

HipHop VM 3.8.0 (dbg)
Compiler: tags/HHVM-3.8.0-0-gbb32f8d645b28561d8491870c44730b9b3f08d35
Repo schema: 74bee5d310450724cfd49245fd6c2e1e4323b10a

So i would like to downgrade HHVM version to 3.7.3 debug. what are the steps to downgrade HHVM?

Can you attach GDB as I asked in the github issue so we can try to track down the actual problem for you?

The 3.7 series is unsupported as of the 3.8 release and won't be receiving security updates. You can technically pull the old deb off of dl.hhvm.com manually, but I would strongly caution against this.

If you want to downgrade, you're going to be much better off sticking with the 3.6 LTS series. That page has the full details of how to stick to an LTS release, but the gist is that you change

deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu trusty main

in your apt configuration to

deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu trusty-lts-3.6 main

You will probably have to uninstall and then reinstall HHVM in order to get apt to actually downgrade the package after the config change.
