Find changed configurations:

Diff them (individually):
sudo vimdiff /path/to/original /path/to/original.pacnew
Note that pacdiff (from pacman-contrib package) does that in a more "friendly" manner.
And there's lots of information about the topic on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Pacnew_and_Pacsave for the OP. If editing foo.conf for the first time, I `cp -a foo.conf{,.orig}' before editing so I still have the package's original version. Then I've three files to diff when foo.conf.pacnew arrives later. foo.conf.orig foo.conf My changes last time. foo.conf.orig foo.conf.pacnew What the package has changed. This can make it easier to work out the changes required to foo.conf. foo.conf.pacnew then becomes foo.conf.orig, ready for next time. diff3(1) can also help. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
