Bug #338
grub.cfg.pacnew comes with grub-common update
0%
Description
Last night, I got a pacnew file for /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which is usually generated by hand using grub-mkconfig. I ran grub-mkconfig to see if there were any differences with my current configuration, but it was the same. Was this file supposed to be updated? Is it safe to delete the pacnew file, since my system boots well with the configuration I already have?
Thanks!

Answered at the list. there is no reason to use the .pacnew file, it's added so pacman doesn't remove the real and working configuration.
Should this file be removed from future updates?

That file is a example generated from grub-mkconfig command, that file is useful as reference for some users that like edit grub.cfg manually. Arch version has this example too and .pacnew file was generated in this last revision due that i edited some things on that file as linux-libre kernel on the path and the title name.
