libvirt upgrade warning

Just did a pacman -Syu and got this warning. My question is: Should I replace old file with new ones?     

(5/8) upgrading libvirt                                                                                                                                                   [#########################################################################################################] 100%

I ran a diff on the old and new files and looks like lot of stuff has changed:

[root@arch64 libvirt]# diff virtinterfaced.conf virtinterfaced.conf.pacnew

Re: libvirt upgrade warning

There has been many discussions around *.pacnew files, although not specific libvirt.

Re: libvirt upgrade warning

Yeah, I got a .pacnew when I updated libvirt yesterday. It was changing a bunch of networking things but my configuration file was better. You need to use something like `sudo pacdiff` and manage it yourself one by one.
