Pacman reinstall every package

pyther · 2008-06-12 22:38:25

Hi

I am getting a new system (intel atom) and I want to use my current arch install. However I have compiled probably about 75% of all the package on my system with some specific make flags for my processor.

So how can I go about reinstalling every package on my system with the one that arch provides?

I had to do this once and found this post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47608
I think i used the last command pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)")

edit, wasn't that topic it was an older one i remember using a command that allan posted that worked, not sure if its the same as that one.
