Today an update left a pacman.conf.pacnew. I compared it with the old pacnew.conf using meld and it seemed to me that the differences only affected the additional EOS entries, so I removed the pacnew.conf.pacnew. Was that perhaps a bit hasty?
Where can I get the current pacnew.conf including all the new features from the pacnew.conf.pacnew?
The content of the pacnew.conf linked by @swh in 2023 is perhaps already out of date?
The only change was to enable parallel downloads which we already do by default.
Removing it should be fine in this case.
This was the only line that I was looking at.
pacman.conf.pacnew
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
pacman.conf
HoldPkg = pacman glibc dracut kernel-install-for-dracut eos-dracut
Yes, that is a difference between Arch defaults and EOS defaults.
We add several critical packages because people were often removing them and breaking their system.
All that does is add a warning if you try to remove them.
thx @dalto & @anon26269396 , now I was calmed.
