Greetings lovely community,
I came across this warning today when updating with yay:
warning: /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist saved as /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist.pacsave
I’ve come across an endeavouros-mirrorlist.pacnew warning before, but not a .pacsave warning before. Normally I would open up the Welcome app, run the Pacdiff & Meld assistant and replace the pacnew file, but in this case that does not apply as there’s nothing to do. With this pacsave warning, and the recent eos-rankmirrors update, I wonder if this even requires any manual intervention by me or if it can just be safely ignored as it’s just doing it’s job?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but after the recent eos-rankmirrors update, whenever a new endeavouros-mirrorlist update is released, it’s automatically save that new mirrorlist as a .pacsave, then with eos-rankmirrors set to YES for auto mirror ranking, will rank the EndeavourOS mirrors and take that .pacsave file, then write it to the endeavouros-mirrorlist, and also replace the older mirrorlist, by adding a date at the end of it as a backup created after the new mirrorlist replaces it. Hopefully I have understand that correctly? Thanks for any input! Looking at you @manuel for any helpful clarification 
Here’s my full output from the update today if that’s helpful:
