DetailsPeople, please be careful.
It takes like 1-2 hours to configure notion, because it is so extensive. I make backups of /etc/, but I never need them. So after years they might not even work anymore. This is literally the only package I have come across in decades, that has a habit of totally destroying your configuration files every once in a while. How is this possible? Aren't all files in /etc/ preserved by default? All files were overwritten, but switch_bindings.lua and cfg_tiling.lua, for which there is a .pacnew file. Notion 1:4.0.1-2 |
This task depends upon
Edit: and what version were you updating from?
Its not just cfg_bindings.lua (was overwritten) I had to change. I think cfg_tiling.lua (was preserved) is also very important and I also had to edit a couple of other files, that I don't even remember half a year later.
No file in /etc/ should ever be overwritten.
