[pacman-dev] Outdated comments in pacman.conf

Hello!

I found what comments in ls /etc/pacman.conf about signature verification
is out of date:

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
> # trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
> SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
> LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
> #RemoteFileSigLevel = Required


So I propose following changes to make comments consistent with default
settings:

# By default, pacman accepts only packages signed by keys that its local
> keyring trusts (see pacman-key and its man page)
> # The only exclusion is packages from local filesystem, such packages can
> be unsigned
> SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
> LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
> #RemoteFileSigLevel = Required


 I include svn patch in attachments.

With best wishes,
Andrey
