pacvamp pacnew

  • Usage: pacvamp pacnew [-d --diff] [-J --json]

List .pacnew and .pacsave files under /etc, and show their diffs

pacman leaves a .pacnew beside a configuration file you changed when the package ships a new default, and a .pacsave when a package that owned a file is removed. Nothing is merged for you here.

Flags

  • -d --diff — Show a unified diff of each pair
  • -J --json — Print as JSON
  • -h --help — Print help
