= Upgrading from Frugalware 0.5 to 0.6

== Preamble

The aim of this howto is to show how you can upgrade a Frugalware-0.5 (Siwenna)
system to Frugalware-0.6 (Terminus).

== Pacman-G2

Terminus comes with a new generation of our package manager, now called
Pacman-G2, so the first step is to update the package database and install it:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pacman -Sy pacman-g2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Upgrading the system

Now it's time to upgrade the system itself:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pacman -Su
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== New slocate database

Terminus comes with slocate-3.1 which has a new database format compared to the
old 2.x series which was shipped with Siwenna. Therefore you must update your
slocate database before running slocate. Issue

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
updatedb
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as root, and then your database will be stored in the new format.

== Upgrade GRUB

Since there is a newer version of GRUB in 0.6 than in 0.5, you have to run
grubconfig to upgrade it. Run

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grubconfig
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and follow the instructions.

== Rebooting

Since the kernel is upgraded, too, you have to reboot your machine now.

Done!
