[pacman-dev] Missing Option
Hello, in the ArchWiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Configuration ] I found the funny and cheerful option "ILoveCandy" in pacman.conf. As far as I can see - this option is not mentioned in "man 5 pacman.conf". May be I'm using not the most recent version of pacman and the the man page is already updated: pacman --version --> Pacman v4.2.0 - libalpm v9.0.0" If not - can somebody update "man 5 pacman.conf" - or would it be better to fill a bug? "... *VerbosePkgLists*:: Displays name, version and size of target packages formatted as a table for upgrade, sync and remove operations. + *ILoveCandy*:: + A cheerful option. Makes boring hash-symbols look like famous pacman eating + dots. Repository Sections ------------------- ..." Many thanks in advance

Neither. Some things are done quite on purpose... -Dan

It's an easter egg. It's not meant to be documented. Cheers, dR
You probably also missed that you can play space invaders while you're updating your system...
