Here's a proposal: 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.
Also adding a line about the rationale of this upstream change would be nice.
Anyone who knows feel free to add it to the proposal above. -- Gaetan
