Teach pacman to save backup files using extension of .pacsave.timestamp "timestamp" is the time of removal of the backup file. It is in <year>-<month>-<day>-<HHMMSS> format, where:
- year is either the year with century or a 2 digit number from 00 to 99 (year without century) if the timestamp string exceeds 20 characters - month is a 2 digit number from 01 to 12 - day is a 2 digit number from 01 to 31 - HH is a 2 digit number from 00 to 23 representing the hour - MM and SS are 2 digit numbers from 00 to 59 representing minutes and seconds respectively
An example of such a pacsave file is /etc/pacman.conf.pacsave.2011-07-29-145035
This addresses FS#24192 (pacman overwrites .pacsave files)
FILE_PACSAVE rule for the test suite is updated to reflect the change in .pacsave file extension. FILE_PACSAVE rules can be used as per before this patch.

Already too odd to me. There is zero reason to not always do YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS format IMO, which also makes this whole explanation unnecessary as it will be recognized as a standard format.
Is the HH:MM:SS bit really necessary? Perhaps a format such as that like logrotate would work. Given 99% of the time you wouldn't have more than one file on a given day, stick with foo.pacsave.2011-08-02, then the next would become something like foo.pacsave.2011-08-02.1, .2, etc.
As I'm thinking as I'm typing and drinking my morning coffee here, why even do the date at all? Why not just check for the presence of an existing pacsave file and rotate them down to .1, .2, etc. just like logrotate would? This is what the feature request asks for, and double-timestamping a file just seems confusing.
- month is a 2 digit number from 01 to 12
- day is a 2 digit number from 01 to 31
- HH is a 2 digit number from 00 to 23 representing the hour
- MM and SS are 2 digit numbers from 00 to 59 representing minutes and seconds
respectively
