Details
I used to use Gentoo Linux and it has a very useful tool
called 'etc-update'. This tool help us with solving
conflicts in files in /etc after installing new packages.
Arch creates files *.pacnew and then I have to manually look
for changes and apply them. etc-update automatically invokes
diff on these files and show me differences, even
automatically solves trivial changes.
Will be fine if we have such a tool on archlinux. |

This script invokes diff on old config file and on new one, corrects simple differences and if difference can not be solved automatically it asks us what to do.
