Archlinux 0.1 Homer

IsSuE · 2008-01-30 12:22:18

Hi there!

I am looking for the 0.1 Archlinux release Homer. I want to install it just for fun, but cant find any isos of 0.1 around. I am currently in a nostalgic state and i installed mcc-interim with kernel 1.0.4, so I thought why not try the first release of my favourite distri. So if anyone got the 0.1 iso somewhere, plz up it!

Thx

issue

Best I could find when I looked at this once was 0.4 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … e_id=43249

Likely not. I just tried to -Syu a 'Duke' yesterday that wasn't updated for 113 days. Didn't work, fought a bit with it and gave up.

IsSuE · 2008-01-30 15:41:41

Trying to update possibly this evening, but i am on slow inet right now

That is very disapointing ! I though one of the strength of Arch would be to be able to upgrade the system from any old state ?

pyther · 2008-01-30 18:55:02

How did it not work? Maybe the mirror you were using ditched current, eh? As current was replaced with core?

BTW really neat, I'll be keeping tabs on this thread!

Well, we have made certain architectural changes to some things (boot process, repo names, package names within repos, for example) that make it more difficult than just a 'pacman -Syu' to update your entire system from a very old state. However, approaching the task with the knowledge of these changes should make it possible, if not easy.

Considering pacman 1.1 didn't even have the -S operation, you might have some trouble doing an -Syu.

well, OK - fair enough, but my point still stands.

IsSuE · 2008-01-30 20:24:16

Well, I am home now.
I ran into several troubles:
finding the correct module for the Virtualbox networkadapter: done
as toofishes mentioned, pacman 1.1 does not have -Syu, installed pacman 2.0
but now i dont find any repository that "supports" the old pacman database layout.
I am thinking about jumping from pacman 2.0 to 3.1.1 but imho thats too easy, gonna search for a really outdated mirro, possibly i find one
Currently I got xfree86 v4 running with windowmaker

Look in the pacman 2.0 source tarball- there is a convertdb utility that should do the trick.

updating should at least be possible when you just download newest pacman and create the mirrorlist file...

question is, if pacman will run...

pacman-static should, one would think

IsSuE · 2008-01-30 23:01:58

well, I did not get very far yet. I tried updating pacman to 3.1.1 but this will pull in a lot of dependencies, which I was to lazy to download all by hand.
Will continue tomorrow. Conclusion so far: if you are still running homer, consider a new installation, not updating (joking)

Man, this thread is awesome.

Had same problem. Simple solution that worked for me was to browse your fav. mirror and manually download the pacman package, then force pacman to upgrade using that package while ignoring deps. Then I saw that everything had to be updated, so I am putting it off until the new ISO comes out (any news on that?)
