>With the upcoming new version of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre we have removed, updated and renamed many common known packages, applications and libraries. Those updates will need manual intervention of the users, especially when it comes to the changed naming conventions. We have not included a direct update-path into the packages out of the reason, that we clearly want the users to take on responsibility also.

>No worries as the way to remove and readd the packages is so far uncomplicated. First of all the changed naming-scheme with some examples to follow:

>audacious -> audacious-legacy
>audacious-plugins -> audacious->plugins-legacy
>gimp -> gimp-legacy
>git -> git-legacy
>inkscape -> inkscape-legacy
>mpv -> mpv-legacy
>qemu -> qemu-legacy
>vlc -> vlc-legacy
>smplayer -> smplayer-legacy
>When you have conflicts with old packages installed just use the command:

>doas pacman -Rdds [PACKAGE]
>
>Afterwards you can just install the packages as common known. The reasoning behind this renaming is foremost that we have set those packages into a halt state. We will surely backport security-fixes, but no longer update these packages to newer releases. With the release of Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre 0.4.5 we will also add a dedicated wiki-article with all needed details.
Get this: what if there was a Linux distro with no useful packages allowed? A distro that just doesn't werk, on purpose. Well, here you go.
