Arch Linux

Description:
procps-ng introduced a new default interface that was a sizable step away from the older default, replacing a well-known display of the "top" processes with a red text-based process tree. This spawned a thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189757) where a configure flag was mentioned but not discussed further as a possible default for the PKGBUILD. There's a new thread here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=232506 (though as of writing there's not much discussion).

Adding "--disable-modern-top" to the PKGBUILD's ./configure returns the default interface to the original/old/usable/plain without (as far as I can tell) affecting any other functionality - all it does is change the default effective .toprc. Existing .toprc files are honoured, and the interface can be reconfigured as normal.

This change would return `top` to being usable-by-default, act the same way as `top` in other distributions (making migration easier), and reduce the time needed to make a commonly-used program usable.

PKGBUILD with minimal change attached.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.3.12
* config and/or log files etc. n/a


Steps to reproduce:

With default package:
Launch `top` with default/no .toprc
Observe red text-based process tree, not display of processes using CPU time

With edited PKGBUILD:
Build and install package
Launch `top` with default/no .toprc
Observe traditional white text displaying list of processes using CPU time
