Transition from the Official Repositories
If you plan to move from the official repositories to our community maintained repositories, follow these steps:
- Put any mirror from our mirrolist
into
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
. - Execute
pacman -Syyw archlinux32-keyring
to download our keyring package. Note, that the signature is by 0x7C98C4C3DE926168DC46FBAA3D06644243BF68D3, which is not trusted by pacman (yet). - Execute
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/archlinux32-keyring-*.pkg.tar.xz
to install our keyring package. - Run
pacman -Suu
for a full transition.- Note, that some packages are currently newer in the official repositories and will be downgraded, therefore.
- 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
pacman -Sc
to clean your cache before you start upgrading.
BitTorrent Download (recommended)
If you can spare the bytes, please leave the client open after your download is finished, so you can seed it back to others. A web-seed capable client is recommended for fastest download speeds.
