Hi all,
I am changing architecture from AMD to Intel. The system is an old one which started with AMD opteron and now I'm on FX. My goal is to not reinstall the Arch. Therefore I'm compiling a list of stuff to do. I'm changing Motherboard, Ram and CPU - SSD stays the same
This is a post to see if anyone else has done it and in case I forget something:
TODO:
* Make sure the SSDs, HDDs are in the same order (or modify the /etc/fstab)
* Re-compile AUR packages
I'm using cower for this and I'd like to script it as I have quite some AUR packages (131 packages). I've modified the makepkg.conf to target my architecture so I will need to go back to generic for the transition and re-compile again once in Intel arch. I'm using cower and I'm looking on scripting it. I won't have any issues with dependencies as this is purely a re-compile - everything is up to date now.
* Re-compile kerne (using linux-ck kernel)
* Remove any AMD specific packages
* Install Intel microcode
Anyone can thing of something I missed? Does anyone knows a script to recompile all AUR packages?
Thanks
Update: Everything went smoothly - no issues.

If you plan to use the intel integrated graphics, you probably want to install the drivers.

Not really tested, just what came in mind when reading your question. Assuming all foreign packages are from AUR you could give this a try.
#!/bin/bash
packages=$(pacman -Qmq)
for i in $packages; do
cower -d $i
done
for i in $packages; do
cd $i
makepkg
cd ../
done
edit: or maybe makepkg -i
