Note: This version of the VDT (1.8.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
On 2007-08-08, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.8.0b.
If you installed VDT 1.8.0 after VDT 1.8.0b was released on 2007-08-08, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.8.0b.
The best way to do the update is to update the individual packages that have changed. To be clear, we
do not recommend using pacman -update without specifying specific package names. Also
note that you only need to update packages if you installed them. You can see what packages have been installed with:
pacman -l -d 1
Before you do the update directions that follow, please run to following commands. They apply for all of the updates.
cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION cd $VDT_LOCATION . setup.sh
The copy command makes a complete backup of your VDT installation, in case something goes wrong. Do not skip this step!
Note the file that needs to be renamed before the update is performed.
mv vdt/etc/package_data/CA-Cert-Updater.cmds vdt/etc/package_data/CA-Certificates-Updater.cmds pacman -update CA-Certificates-Updater
