NOTICE FOR EVERYONE:
You may see the following error message from pacman:
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/*.conf could not be read: No such file or directory
If you do, that is because you have modified your pacman.conf file in the past; but you forgot to reconcile the latest .pacnew replacement. Remember that it is upon each user to notice any new .pacnew replacement files for any configuration files that you have modified, each time pacman does an upgrade, and to merge the changes into your existing config files. Pacman will not do that automatically, to avoid clobbering your customizations. To correct this, compare /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew to remind yourself which changes you had made. Then move /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew to /etc/pacman.conf; and redo you customizations (eg: enable the [nonsystemd] repo, enable ParallelDownloads, add ILoveCandy, etc).
NOTICE FOR THOSE WHO BUILD THEIR OWN PACKAGES:
Parabola's default makepkg.conf has long loaded /etc/makepkg.d/*.conf. As of makepkg 6.1.0, the program itself now loads /etc/makepkg.conf.d/*.conf, so this part of our makepkg.conf has been removed. Users who have /etc/makepkg.d/*.conf files need to move them to /etc/makepkg.conf.d/.
