2) Checkout the scripts into /arch or /arch-new (to be discussed)
You say you tested it, so I say /arch. Objections?
/arch-new gives a fallback if necessary. Fallbacks are good with
db-scripts...
3) Check which packages need to be kept in gz format for a while.(is it just
pacman, libarchive and xz-utils) and add PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.gz' into their
PKGBUILDs
Disregard the bash part below (bash can be any older version).

The use of --as-needed means we do not need all these. So the list is
somewhere between this and the one Pierre gave... has anyone got a
really old system we can test this upgrade on? I suppose an old
installer is enough.
