[aur-general] PKGBUILD 'backup' function won't work

[Daniel Lin]

Thank you, after reading that section. I understood why there is no *.pacnew
or *.pacorig.
But, why pacman remove my config file which I've modified  when I remove the
package?(I assume it will keep a *.pacsave)
I'm sure I don't add the --nosave option.
