1. Indledning

The aim of this howto is to show how you can upgrade a Frugalware-1.2 (Locris) system to Frugalware-1.3 (Haven).

2. pacman-g2

The new release comes with an improved pacman-g2, so the first step is to install it. Given that it depends on OpenSSL 1.0 and conflicts with earlier bash-completion, you need to update those packages in one go first:

# pacman-g2 -Sy pacman-g2 curl wget proftpd bash-completion

3. Removing obsolete packages

Some software has been marked as obsolete in the new release. To remove them:

# pacman-g2 -Rd pident ctorrent farsight gst-plugins-farsight libjingle-tapioca libchipcard2 libchipcard3 bitswash

4. Opgradering af systemet

Nu det er tid at opgradere selve systemet:

# pacman-g2 -Su
:: Starting local database upgrade...
:: Replace dvdrtools with frugalware-current/cdrtools? [Y/n]
:: Replace gqview with frugalware-current/geeqie? [Y/n]
:: Replace libgksu with frugalware-current/gksu-frugalware? [Y/n]
:: Replace gksu with frugalware-current/gksu-frugalware? [Y/n]
:: Replace nautilus-gksu with frugalware-current/gksu-frugalware? [Y/n]
:: Replace gal with frugalware-current/libgnome? [Y/n]
:: Replace eel with frugalware-current/nautilus? [Y/n]
:: Replace akode with frugalware-current/phonon? [Y/n]
:: Replace arts with frugalware-current/phonon? [Y/n]
:: Replace gnome-cups-manager with frugalware-current/system-config-printer? [Y/n]
:: Replace xf86-input-citron with frugalware-current/xf86-input-mouse? [Y/n]

Du vil blive spurgt om at erstatte ovenfor pakker automatisk. Dette er normalt og der forventes at du svarer J til disse spørgsmål (eller slå bare ENTER).

Efter dette, vil listen af pakker der skal opgraderes blive vist. slå bare ENTER). Lav noget te eller kaffe, det kan tag en rum tid med opgraderingen. :-)

5. Installing replacement packages

In case you removed anything in section 3, now you can install the replacement packages:

5.1. ctorrent, bitswash

Those projects are abandoned. Just look for an other bittorrent client in the tree. Those can be: rtorrent, deluge, btg, libtorrent-rasterbar to mention some of them.

# pacman-g2 -S deluge

5.2. pident

No replacement for this package. You should not use it anyway. http://www.clock.org/~fair/opinion/identd.html

5.3. farsight, gst-plugins-farsight, libjingle-tapioca

farsight2, gst-plugins-good and gst-plugins-bad are the replacements here. Farsight2 will install the others as well.

# pacman-g2 -S farsight2

5.4. libchipcard2, libchipcard3

These libraries are very old. None of your packages should depend on them, so use libchipcard package instead of these.

6. XOrg configuration file removal

XOrg now uses udev to automatically detect your hardware when you start XOrg, so /etc/X11/xorg.conf is no longer necessary, you are recommended to remove it:

# rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Instead, if you still want to manually fine-tune parts of your XOrg configuration, you can place a fragment file to the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. If you still keep the monolithic xorg.conf, and you have conflicting settings in the monolithic and the fragment files, the later ones have priority.

7. Reboot

Siden kernen også bliver opgraderet, skal du genstarte din maskine

Færdig!
