Hi,
I accidentally did a pacman upgrade to the testing repository. Is it possible to downgrade all the packages to current?
Thanks!

To downgrade:
pacman -S repo/package
where repo is the repo containing the package (current or extra) and package is the package you want to downgrade. Testing only contains a few package now so you can easily do that for each package you have installed from testing.

Thanks for the reply. How do I find out which packages are from testing?
Thanks again!

You can also check the end of /var/log/pacman.log to see what packages you have recently installed/upgraded.

the easiest way to do that, comment testing repository in /etc/pacman.conf and do pacman -Syu, pacman will warn you now about local package newer than the one on repo, take the name of the packages and do pacman -S to them
Hope it helps...

The following also does the job:
pacman -Syy
pacman -Suuf

i wouldn't through the f on there. I've seen Allan recommend the following as the official un-[testing] of a system:
# comment [testing] in pacman.conf
pacman -Syy
pacman -Suu
never had to do it though...

mac2k - you may have just set a new record.
This thread is over four years old, and as you noted, pacman has changed since then. Also, the OP has not posted in over four years, so it's safe to assume he's no longer using Arch.
Please read the guidelines relating to old threads, and the rest of that document while you're at it.
