Tool for merging pacnew files ??

Hi all,

Is there a program available that are able to merge a .pacnew file with the existing files, instead of doing this manually ??

Maybe vim can do this but I am not sure ??

It would be nice to do this quickly to save time !!

Yaourt, for example, comes with a script called pacdiffviewer which can be used for that.

Yup, try this from a terminal:

$ vimdiff /etc/conf /etc/conf.pacnew

Have a look at pacdiff in the pacman-contrib package in community. If you think it can be improved feel free to submit a patch to the pacman-dev mailing list
