[arm-allstar] Rpi2 - ArchLinux OS Update

[Doug Crompton]

Chan,

 Be very careful about updates. Some updates break things especially compiling with the latest gcc updates. Again I would not recommend updates and we do not support broken systems due to updates. It is probable that dahdi will not recompile after an update nor will Asterisk. If you have done an update and it is broken then you will have to reinstall the original image which is a lot easier than trying to get it to compile!

If you just need to install a single package that requires an update you can do it with the pacman -Sy <packagename> command. This usually works as long as the packages dependencies don't require updates also.

May I ask why you want to do a system update?

A new updated image with the latest package and kernel updates will be out soon for both the RPi2 and BBB.

Hi Doug,
 
Do you have the docs for recompiling dahdi? Also, how are updates handled for rpi2 with arch? Thanks!

We do not recommend user system updates but if for some reason you must do it dahdi must be recompiled after you update and reboot.



When are updates come out soon they will include the latest kernels with all updates.

Using Crompton’s RPi2_V1.0_Allstar image.  I noticed that it was running Arch Linux as its Operating System and was wondering what the thoughts were on updating Arch via pacman?
I did notice that asterisk was broken after the reboot on my test box #2. What is everyone doing for patching/updates?
 
==Update via pacman==
pacman -Syu
pacman-db-upgrade
 
==Box #1: Not updated and works fine==

==Here’s a diff of the packages between a stock and updated unit==
*Its not a 100% diff as I did install iotop, htop, nload on Box2. So, things are a bit shifted in the diff but the core packages are listed.
