Arch Linux

Description:
Package r8168 ships with file /usr/lib/modprobe.d/r8168.conf which blacklists module r8169

This way if package is removed (blacklisting is also removed i.e. r8169 is accepted again)

But on the other hand, package r8168-lts uses install file to "echo / inform" user to manually blacklist the module by adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/r8169_blacklist.conf

This means that when user removes the package (in future) - blacklisting will continue to remain till the user figures it out on his own.

If we implement /usr/lib/modprobe.d/r8168-lts.conf (same content as r8168.conf) then:
1) We avoid .install file
2) Module blacklisting / unlisting happens automatically.

Also in my opinion PKGBUILD of r8168 and r8168-lts should be almost same except differences related to LTS.

Right now they differ a bit (although final list of files is more or les same)


Also, not creating another bug for this minor issue but, description of r8168-lts mentions r8169 but it should be r8168


Additional info:
* package version(s)
r8168-lts version 8.046.00-2
