resolvconf on Arch?

...where is it?

I am installing pdnsd and I want to configure it with resolvconf. I can't find no packages in the repositories... Why?
Nobody packaged it or some strange reason?

cheers.

As far as I can tell, no packages in the repos provide a binary called resolvconf, and nothing seems to be in the AUR. Seems you are the first to want it.

Or I am the first to ask it I don't think it is an exotic package, since it's shipped by default in other distros (Ubuntu for example)

Is that a package or a configuration file? (/etc/resolv.conf)

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvconf:

The configuration file resolv.conf normally contains information about the nameservers to be used by the system. However, when multiple programs need to dynamically modify the resolv.conf configuration file they can step on each other and the file can become out-of-sync. The resolvconf program addresses this problem. It acts as an intermediary between programs that supply nameserver information (e.g. dhcp clients) and programs that use nameserver information (e.g. resolver).

A (claimed to be) equivalent implementation, openresolv, is in AUR. I do not use this so I don't know whether it helps.
