I can "announce" it if you like, but here is the gist:
- If you have already upgraded fully, including initscripts, then you'll need a copy of the older initscripts (present in this thread).
- If you have NOT yet upgraded, you will need to edit /etc/pacman.conf and add initscripts to the IgnorePkg= line.
If you want it pre-patched, you can copy your /etc/* config files, extract a new rootfs, install packages, and then replace the appropriate files from your backed-up configs.
