Description:
Now that sddm has moved from AUR to Community, the file list does not include /etc/sddm.conf. However, 'man sddm' still says /etc/sddm.conf exists. Either there is a new method for customizing sddm, in which case the documentation needs to be updated to reflect that, or the file /etc/sddm.conf should be added back to the package.

Additional info:
* sddm 0.10.0-3


Steps to reproduce:
# pacman sddm
This task depends upon

You need to create the file if you want anything besides the defaults. If you don't think that's clear from the man page, ask upstream to change the man page.

I have filed an upstream bug: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/301

The command to generate an example sddm.conf is # sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf, but that information is not available on any man page.

There is no need to generate an "example" file anyway, just create a blank file and add the values you want changed.
