<h3>Package Archive</h3>
<p>Older versions of packages can be found in the <a href="https://archive.archlinux32.org">Package Archive</a>.
- It contains daily snapshots of the package mirror.
- To use packages of a certain date, simply put <code>Server=https://archive.archlinux32.org/repos/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/$arch/$repo</code> into your mirrorlist.
- If you're upgrading an old installation which struggles to install zstd compressed packages, you need to install packages from e.g. 2020/01/01 which include a xz compressed pacman which is able to install zstd compressed packages.</p>
+ It works similar to the <a href="https://archive.archlinux.org">Arch Linux Archive</a> which is documented <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive">in the ArchWiki</a>.

these steps:</p>
<ul>
+ <li> Put <code>Server=https://archive.archlinux32.org/repos/2020/01/01/$arch/$repo</code> as sole mirror into <code>/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist</code>.</li>
+ <li> Execute <code>pacman -Syy archlinux32-keyring-transition</code> to install our keyring transition package signed by one of the x86_64 archlinux devs.</li>
+ <li> Run <code>pacman -Syuu</code> to update to a state, when pacman was capable of installing zstd-compressed packages.
<li> Put any mirror from <a href="https://git.archlinux32.org/packages/plain/core/pacman-mirrorlist/mirrorlist">our mirrorlist</a>
into <code>/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist</code>.</li>
- <li> Execute <code>pacman -Syy archlinux32-keyring-transition</code> to install our keyring transition package signed by one of the x86_64 archlinux devs.</li>
- <li> Execute <code>pacman -S archlinux32-keyring</code> to install our most recent keyring package.</li>
- <li> Run <code>pacman -Syuu</code> for a full transition.
+ <li> Run <code>pacman -Syuu</code> for a full transition to the most recent state.

- <li> Note, that some packages are currently newer in the official repositories and will be downgraded, therefore.</li>
- <li> Also note, that packages found in your package cache won't match the signatures from archlinux32 - either allow pacman to delete these cached packages or run <code>pacman -Sc</code> to clean your cache before you start and after you finish upgrading.</li>
