Since the settings of our `/etc/sysctl.conf` shipped by procps-ng have become kernel defaults anyway, we have decided to deprecate this file. Upon upgrading to procps-ng-3.3.8-3, you will be prompted to move any changes you made to `/etc/sysctl.conf` under `/etc/sysctl.d`. The easiest way to do this is to run: pacman -Syu mv /etc/sysctl.conf.pacsave /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf If you never customized `/etc/sysctl.conf`, you have nothing to do.
