( see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=aif ) - * aif-git: latest code from the git master (stable) branch: recommended for power users. - * aif-experimental-git: latest development code. Code is tested here and if ok, merged into master. Use at own risk!! - - - -So, if you want to upgrade the aif package on an installation cd.. - -> aif package from extra: - ---------------------- - * pacman -Sy aif - - - -> aif git package from AUR: (for example aif-experimental-git. aif-git is the same procedure) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -1) Boot from the installcd - -2) Open 2 shells, one as user root, one as regular user (arch) - -3) Execute the code below. - -# root shell: -aif -p partial-configure-network # if you have a recent enough aif version installed that comes with this procedure. -/arch/setup. # alternatively, use the old installer. fake ftp install so it lets you run the network configure script, then exit the installer - -pacman -Sy git fakeroot # You need about 192MB ram for this! 128MB is not enough. - -# arch shell -wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aif-experimental-git/aif-experimental-git.tar.gz -tar -xzf aif-experimental-git.tar.gz -cd aif-experimental-git -makepkg - -# root shell: -pacman -R aif # pacman can't replace with -U yet.. -pacman -U /home/arch/aif-experimental-git/aif*.pkg.tar.gz - -4) Fire it up! (as root) - -aif -p <procedurename> #you can skip networking. - - -Notes: -* For more info see README or aif -h. -* Since you configured the network before starting aif, you need to reconfigure it in aif if you want the 'auto-update rc.conf' functionality. |
