Hello everyone, I have a question about topgrade. What should I select here?
pacnew file found for /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-mirrorlist
:: (V)iew, (M)erge, (S)kip, (R)emove pacnew, (O)verwrite with pacnew, (Q)uit: [v/m/s/r/o/q]
If u use topgrade you propably should know how to handle those.
View rhe new file and see what has changed and then decide if you want to use it or not.
install Meld or Diffuse so you can do a side-by-side comparison. Then any changes that are in the old file that aren’t in the new file you want to keep you can add to the new file. I would never use the overwrite with pacnew cause the file was most likely updated for a good reason. Most times you can just remove the old file and not worry about it.
If you didn’t modify that config before, then pacnew should be safe, but yes it’s better to compare, because maybe something has modified it.
Personally I have never bothered with pacnew, somehow it just works.
OK, thank you very much. Then I’d better leave it with topgrade, I don’t want to break the system unnecessarily
Agree seems in the vast majority of instances just removing it without checking it is harmless. The HUGE hype about always checking is just that, HYPE.
