solc-select Linux minimum version 0.4.0

I was wondering why the minimum version on Linux is 0.4.0 and why I can't install versions below it?

Hey @fjtechorg! What version of solc were you trying to use?

For the binaries hosted by Solidity, they've only released binaries >= 0.4.10. We have versions 0.4.0-0.4.9 in our own repository here. It's currently limited by the binaries that we've added in that second link.

I see thanks for your reply, I actually deal with random contracts and want to be able to go down to the very first versions, is there any way we can make all historical releases available?

We can look into adding additional support in the next release by adding into the versions that we are hosting, if we can get the executable binaries out!

I also have a need for pre-v0.4.0 versions while auditing legacy contracts. I specifically need v0.1.2It looks like the old pre-v0.4.0 versions have been restored in solc-bin can we get these added to solc-select?
