How to revert back after upgrading from testing[SOLVED]
Any ideas? I want to revert all my upgrades from testing...Will I do it manually on every package?
Thanks in advance

Remove the [testing] repo from your pacman.conf. Then do a "pacman -Syu" and note the packages that are flagged as newer than in the repos. Reinstall those.

Am I going to install them manually? Pacman will not install them for me?

Pacman will not automatically downgrade your packages. There is not too much in [testing] at the moment so it should be fairly easy just to downgrade them manually.

Or if you use yaourt, "yaourt -Su --downgrade"

Re: How to revert back after upgrading from testing[SOLVED]
A while ago I saw a bash script for this that would parse the output of pacman and then downgrade any packages that it said was newer than the repos.
Hmmm...

Probably what yaourt -Su --downgrade does.
