The headlined article is not about Arch, and already pointed out the existence of /etc/rc.conf (albeit that there are actually a couple of other files) containing the variable settings that configure the scripts, as documented on the rc.conf manual page.
- zaarn 6y agopacsave/pacnew is how arch deals with some of these problems, but i wasn't talking about anything arch specific
- JdeBP 6y agoYes you were. You were talking about pacsave/pacnew. There are no such things on the operating systems discussed in the headlined article.
- zaarn 6y agoOkay, to elaborate, a solution like the one proposed in the article, if implemented on ArchLinux, would prevent or minimize pacnew/pacsave. That doesn't make the rest of the comment irrelevant because pacnew/pacsave are specific to arch, hence that very sentence being only specific to arch. I mentioned them mostly because the top comment in this thread also mentioned them briefly. I hope that ELI5 was sufficient for you.
