Description:
Arch packages its own default grub configuration. /etc/default/grub. Which has nice defaults. But I also prefer to add my own features. (or minor changes) So I have to manually edit the file which then leaves pacnew files every time the file is changed in Arch package. (which happened just recently) It would be nice if /etc/default/grub file sources a local file if it exists. (at the end of script) i.e. append something like this: (copied from grub-mkconfig) if test -f /etc/default/grub.local ; then . /etc/default/grub.local fi This will not change any existing behavior or add any additional file. But allow administrator to have their own customization without manually editing the default grub file in future. It is very helpful when you are managing multiple Arch installation. Please consider implementing. Thank you. Additional info: * package version(s) 2.04 (or any version) * config and/or log files etc. /etc/default/grub |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: There's nothing wrong with pacnew files, use them the way they were intended.
