hi,
as you already have different VMs why don't just install a new one that
ships with 3.6? (Fedora 18 for example).

Hi all,
Some notes:
* I would rather take my GNOME 3.4 snapshot and upgrade it to 3.6,
rather than taking my 3.8 snapshot and downgrading to 3.6 (since the
[Downgrading Packages][0] page on the Arch wiki says not to downgrade
packages if possible).
* I will certainly add gnome and gnome-extra to IgnoreGroup on all my
VMs to freeze the versions as they are -- thanks! However I can't do
this until I have a 3.6 VM.
I guess it doesn't matter if I mess around with the downgrading
though, because I can just take lots of snapshots to restore to :)
I will play with a few methods (I think I need to keep searching the
Arch wiki for ways to upgrade to a specific version rather than
downgrade to a specific version, but failing that I'll downgrade from
3.8) and report back.
cheers

Hi Amy,
I would try add package groups gnome and gnome-extra to
IgnoreGroup line which can be found from pacman config file
/etc/pacman.conf. Also you should add other gnome version
dependent packages to IgnorePkg line.
I have not tried this by myself, so please take snapshot or backup
before trying upgrade with ignore options.
More info on Arch Linux wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#Skip_package_group_from_being_upgraded
Maybe someone else can confirm that this is right way to do this?

Hi all,
I've just upgraded my machine to Ubuntu 13.10 and I now
realise that I have no machine with GNOME 3.6 on it for
playing around with stuff.
I have a VM each with ArchLinux: GNOME 3.2, 3.4 and 3.8, but
none with 3.6 (was using my main laptop for it).
Perhaps this is more of an Arch question, but is there any way
I can grab (say) the 3.4 VM and 'pacman -Syu' to upgrade it,
*but* get it to stop at GNOME 3.6 instead of overshooting to
3.10 (or 3.8, whatever is the latest version in the repos)?
(Previously whenever a new GNOME version is released, I grab
my latest VM, clone it, and 'pacman -Syu' it to get it to the
new version, giving me a VM with that version).
cheers,
Amy
