[How to] manually upgrade 3.5 base modules

[Jack]

Did you ever upgrade LXDE in Nemesis 3.5 to current? If you did can I have a copy. If not how hard can it be?

What I did so far and here is a list.
1. Upgraded to your current.
2. Did xzm2dir to 003-lxde, 003-lxdextra and 003-shared those were in Nemesis 3.5 (LXDE).
3. Copy the /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION from the live system to extracted to the 3 from # 2 (above)
4. Did setup-pacman and the converted to module.
5 Create these.
003-lxde

003-shared

Code: Select all

gtk3 gvfs gvfs-afc gvfs-smb json-glib ldb libcanberra libftdi-compat libusb-compat p7zip rest tdb tevent udisks2 usbmuxd

These are the modules in the the 3 *.xzm files and this is how they were made.
6. This is where to upgrade the modules but not sure what I need to do or do this?

Code: Select all

# pacman -S <list of packages>

7. Do dir2xzm to the 3 files.

first, download packages to cache, but don't install and ignore dependencies.. also check the package lists for doubles eg. gtk3 is listed in both 003-shared and 003-lxde (it only needs to be in one)

Code: Select all

pacman -Sddw <list of packages>

if there are any packages not in the repo(there will be at least one) this will fail .. remove them from your list..
then

Code: Select all

pacman -Uddr /path/to/extractedmodule /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*.pkg.tar.xz

then clean the cache

Code: Select all

pacman -Scc

repeat for each module.

if this works for you, it still probably won't boot to X ... check here for some ideas:
