Upgrading from Arch 0.8 O.o
 

I recently got a VPS and installed arch from their control panel just to
know that it was arch 0.8 !!!

How do I upgrade from arch 0.8 to the latest ?

you should ask them to get the latest openvz template:

http://download.openvz.org/contrib/template/precreated/arch-2010.05-i686-minimal.tar.gz
http://download.openvz.org/contrib/template/precreated/arch-2010.05-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz

those are created by me and mostly because nobody cared for so many years :)

In order to refresh the db, I ran pacman -Sy which gives this error:
config: line 1: all directives must belong to a section

I managed to get arch with them after a lot of push, anyway, leave that
part.

Well... there's a problem because the arch's package format has
changed (from .pkg.tar.gz to .pkg.tar.xz)!

Try yourself to install pacman's package manually (and his dependencies).

It should work!

Sorry about my english.

Its over finally. Some tar -xf stuff, etc. made it possible :)
Basically upgraded pacman and its deps directly from archlinux.org as
someone suggested. Thanks to that one !
