Downgrading packages (Magyar)
The
Arch Linux Archive
(a.k.a.
ALA
), formerly known as
Arch Linux Rollback Machine
(a.k.a.
ARM
), stores
official repositories snapshots
,
iso images
and
bootstrap tarballs
across time.
You can use it to:
Downgrade to a previous version of one package (last version is broken, I want the previous one)
Restore all your packages at a precise moment (my system is broken, I want to go back 2 months ago)
Find a previous version of an ISO image
Packages are only kept for a few years, afterwards they are moved to the
Arch Linux Historical Archive
on
archive.org
.
Location
The Arch Linux Archive is available at
https://archive.archlinux.org/
and
mirrors
around the globe.
The
source code
is also available for setting up your own mirror.
Directories
The
Archive
is split into 3 main directories detailed below.
├── iso
├── packages
└── repos
/repos
The
repos
directory contains daily snapshots of official mirror organized by date like in the following example.
repos

├── last
├── month
└── week
Note: The last 3 special directories (
last
,
week
and
month
) which links respectively to the last synced repository, to the last Monday and to the first of the current month.
/packages
The
packages
directory contains all versions of each package with their signatures. One directory by package and package directories are grouped by their first letter.
├── packages
│   ├── a
│   │   ├── awesome
│   │   │   ├── awesome-4.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
│   │   │   ├── awesome-4.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig
│   │   │   ├── awesome-4.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
│   │   │   ├── awesome-4.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig
│   │   │   ├── ...

│   │   ├── awstats
│   │   └── axel
│   │   
│   ├── b
│   ├── ...
│   └── z
You can use the magic subdirectory
.all
to access all packages by their name. It acts as a flat directory containing all versions of every package.
├── packages
│   ├── .all
│   │   ├── awesome-4.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
│   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── zsh-5.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
│   │   ├── zsh-5.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
│   │   └── ...
You can download the full package list (there are over a hundred thousand packages) as a compressed index:
index.0.xz
.
$ curl https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/.all/index.0.xz | unxz
0ad-a23.1-2-x86_64
0ad-a23.1-3-x86_64
...
zziplib-0.13.69-1-x86_64
zziplib-0.13.70-1-x86_64
/iso
The
iso
directory contains official ISO images and bootstrap tarballs sorted by release date.
├── 2014.09.03

Tipp
Since release 2022.10.01, the Arch Linux Archive is also added as a WebSeed to the torrents (but not magnet links). All torrent files can be downloaded from
the releases page
.
Frequently asked questions
How to downgrade one package
Find the package you want under
/packages
and let pacman fetch it for installation. For example:
# pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/
path/packagename
.pkg.tar.zst
Letting pacman fetch it will automatically download the package's detached
.sig
file and verify it according to
/etc/pacman.conf
settings.
Alternatively, download and install the package manually using
pacman -U
.
See also
Downgrading packages#Automation
for tools that simplify the process.
How to restore all packages to a specific date
To restore all packages to their version at a specific date, let us say 30 March 2014, you have to direct
pacman
to this date, by editing your
/etc/pacman.conf
and use the following server directive:
/etc/pacman.conf
[core]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch

[extra]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch
or
by replacing your
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
with the following content:
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
##
## Arch Linux repository mirrorlist
## Generated on 2042-01-01
##
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2014/03/30/$repo/os/$arch
Megjegyzés
In May 2023 the
community
repository
has been removed
. If you need to downgrade beyond that point, you
must
add a similar
community
entry.
Then update the database and force downgrade:
# pacman -Syyuu
If you get errors complaining about corrupted/invalid packages due to PGP signature, try to first update separately
archlinux-keyring
and
ca-certificates
. Alternatively, you can decide to temporarily
disable signature checking
altogether.
Figyelmeztetés
It is
not safe
to mix Archive and up-to-date mirrors. In case of a download failure, you will fall-back on an upstream package and you will have packages not from the same epoch in the rest of the system.
Historical Archive
Maintaining the Arch Linux Archive consumes significant amount of resources, so old packages are cleaned up from time to time.
Before removing them, old packages are uploaded to a
dedicated collection "Arch Linux Historical Archive" on archive.org
.
The Historical Archive does not provide a way to access a "snapshot" of Arch packages at a given point in time.  However, there is a redirection on
archive.archlinux.org
so that downloads for old packages are redirected to the Historical Archive on
archive.org
.  There should be no visible impact from the user side, except from the fact that
archive.org
is generally quite slow for downloading.
Finding packages in the Historical Archive
The
Arch Linux Historical Archive
collection has an index of all packages:
https://archive.org/details/archlinuxarchive
It is also possible to directly access a package by its
identifier
.  The general pattern for identifiers is
archlinux_pkg_
sanitized_package_name
.
To obtain the
sanitized
package name, simply replace any
@
,
+
or
.
character in the package name by an underscore
_
.
For instance, the identifier for
lucene++
is
archlinux_pkg_lucene__
.
You can then access the details page of a package via its identifier, for instance:
https://archive.org/details/archlinux_pkg_lucene__
.
It is also possible to run searches with the
archive.org Python client
:
$ ia search subject:"archlinux package" subject:'mysql'
{"identifier": "archlinux_pkg_ejabberd-mod_mysql"}
{"identifier": "archlinux_pkg_ejabberd-mod_mysql-svn"}
{"identifier": "archlinux_pkg_gambas3-gb-db-mysql"}
{"identifier": "archlinux_pkg_gambas3-gb-mysql"}
{"identifier": "archlinux_pkg_libgda-mysql"}
Downloading packages from the Historical Archive
All available package versions (and their signature) can be accessed via the download page of a package:
https://archive.org/download/archlinux_pkg_lucene__
.
To download, verify and install a package using
pacman
:
# pacman -U https://archive.org/download/archlinux_pkg_cjdns/cjdns-20.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Package verification is controlled by pacman's
RemoteFileSigLevel
option. Note that if you use pacman, you have to figure out the dependencies yourself.
It is also possible to use the
archive.org Python client
.
Download a specific version of a package:
$ ia download archlinux_pkg_cjdns cjdns-20.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst{,.sig}
Download all x86_64 versions of a package, with signatures:
$ ia download archlinux_pkg_cjdns --glob="*x86_64.pkg.tar.*"
