Softethervpn 5.02.5180 doesn't work - how to downgrade to 5.01.9674?

Environment: ipq806x TP-Link Archer c2600 master , openwrt-21.02

I can get working only old package version v5.01.9674 compiling the newer v5.02.5180, firmware loose configuration, and VPN interfaces couldn't work.

If I reconfigure them from scratch they seem working but after some time the interfaces stops and show error so I loose the vpn connections

So I have to compile firmware with older v5.01.9674 version:

• on openwrt-21.02, I compile firmwares manually putting v5.01.9674 sources it into /package/network/ directory. and the firmwares work fine and VPN is fine

• on master, it worked in the past, but starting from some time until now I can't finish compiling firmware with v5.01.9674 getting:

ninja: Entering directory `/home/gabriele/openwrt/mastermod/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eab/SoftEtherVPN-5.01.9674'

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

On master, selecting actual version 5.02.5180, the compiling ends right (but vpn interfaces do not work as already said).

HOW CAN I SELECT THE OLDER (PREVIOUS) SOFTETHERVPN5 PACKAGE VERSION FOR COMPILING PLEASE? THANKS

Just use the old makefile? https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/9c756cf618d501baaf309e1054024a546d123bb1/net/softethervpn5/Makefile

I think it's not sufficient: the package has differents patches and files. I tried changing full package in the place of the current, but It doesn't work, so I tried adding the package into another places. It worked for older revisions (I have to check which ones), for older master revision. At the moment, in my esperience, master doesn't accept older softethervpn package as for right position so for alternative positions.
