Is there now any equivalent to .pacnew files for what would have been configuration files in /etc/conf.d? That is to say, if before a user edited /etc/conf.d/<some file> and that file received a newer version in its package, a .pacnew file would be left behind, indicating that the user should set about merging his/her custom configuration into the newer "stock" configuration. Very useful, that. Now, however, it would seem that the user will never see such a message (even though potentially critical changes have been made to the unit file) because the custom unit file in /etc/systemd/... won't be tracked by pacman. Is there a good solution for detecting such changes, so that users can once again merge their necessary changes into the systemd equivalents of /etc/conf.d files? -- David J.
