This package provides a small wrapper around the pacdiff utility used on Arch Linux systems to update configuration files after package updates.
The package provides a buffer with an overview, with all files, which need maintenance. You can then view the original configuration and the pacnew/pacsave version via ediff to merge the changes. Furthermore the buffer offers shortcuts to remove or overwrite with the pacnew/pacsave file.
- Install the package
- When loaded call the function
pacdiff, this will create a buffer, which shows all pacnew/pacsave files, which needs merging. See the mode description for available key bindings.
Main functionality (edit, remove, overwrite) is available. Visualization of which changes have been made to a file could be improved. The package messes with system configurations and needs root permissions to do so -> Take extra care when using it.
