OpenSSL upgrade
I need to obviously upgrade OpenSSL on an ArchLinux server.
server(/temp): uname -a
Linux server 3.7.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 25 12:04:25 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
server(/temp): openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
Where can I find the exact package to do this? Is there some simple pacman command I can run to do it for me?

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
You don't upgrade a single package: you update your entire system.
Not an Installation issue... moving to NC.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
pacman -SyuYou need to update the entire system - that's how Arch works.
If you're responsible for an Arch server, I recommend you learn some basics - the wiki would be a good place to start.

I just noticed that... You have plenty more to worry about!

You got a whole lotta updates to do... You might want to read the news page on the ArchLinux main page before updating.
On a different tack, why haven't you been updating the system (or if you have, have you ever re-booted it)?
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
I have to update the whole system to fix one problem? My slackware server fixed with "upgradepkg openssl-1.0.1g-x86_64-1.txz" in 30 seconds. Arch linux? 4 hours of downtime? There has to be a way pacman a newer openssl only without reinstalling everything.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
Well, that's why it's generally not recommended to operate HA servers on a rolling release distro, I guess. Especially on something like Arch.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
Did you read anything about Arch before installing it. It's said in many places.
Partial updates are not supported.
You need to update the entire system regularly.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
Arch is not slackware, and partial updates are unsupported.

Re: OpenSSL upgrade
This thread has reached it logical conclusion. Yes, it is the nature of Arch not to support partial upgrades. I think the point has been made.
I am going to close this thread at this point.
