interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. The secondary task of ranger is to figure out
which program you want to use to open your files with.
This manual mainly contains information on the usage of ranger. Refer to the README for install
instructions and to doc/HACKING for development specific information. For configuration, see the
files in ranger/config. They are usually installed to /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/ranger/config
and can be obtained with ranger's --copy-config option.
Inside ranger, you can press 1? for a list of key bindings, 2? for a list of commands and 3? for a

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_Packages
The Arch Rollback Machine (ARM) contains archived snapshots of all the repos going back to 1 November 2009. The site is in a state of flux as of this date (21 November 2009), and now has lost the items back thru 1 October 2008, as previously reported.
If you are interested in ARM, it would be best to view the introductory forum announcement and discussion, so as to stay abreast of the current progress of the project. The introductory forum thread is here.
It is said that the goal was to construct the urls in such a way as to facilitate easy wget+pacman scripting to "roll back" your system to a particular date. The automation process is not yet explained. To just manually search for a particular package, one can use the search page which has been provided at ARM Search.
