Has Pacman3 dropped support for the NoUpgrade Lines in pacman.conf?

I just upgraded to Pacman 3.  When I upgraded I quickly saw some output on my sceen saying it was doing a one time "reset" and I believe it said I could delete the NoUpgrade lines in pacman.conf.
I noticed that pacman.conf.pacnew does not have any NoUpgrade lines.
Should I delete all the NoUpgrade lines from my pacman.conf file?
Is the NoUpgrade line no longer supported in pacman3? 
If so, how can I protect some of my config files from being overwritten during upgrades?
Rob

They're still supported, there just aren't any by default anymore. They were redundant.
You can/should remove any that are listed in the "backup" list for the packages they come from (pacman -Qii package). Those are all handled as if they were in NoUpgrade anyway.

  • Why have Nokia dropped support for the 808?

    It never gets anything, still waiting for NFC payment, Wifi is still borked with no 5ghrz support even tho it was advertised, still waiting for browser updates to make it useful, gets nothing they're putting into their Lumia series.
    Why release a phone to just ditch it?
    Edit: Oh yeah and the camera is still **bleep** for night time shots, the right hand side of the picture always has this lighter area ruining it.
    Not my pictures but mine does the same thing...

    Are you crazy? The 808's pictures are better. Sharper no overzealus coloursmearing, no weird edge-sharpening.
    In fact the only positive about the 920 is its low-light "enlightenment" . But this unfortunately gives rather unatural looking photo's. 
    The pictures that you linked to were shot in pitch black outside and Steve clearly pointed out that the scenes depicted were deliberately choosen to asure the 920 would be better. They were to demonstrate the difference of the low-light enhancing technology o/t 920. There's no reason to show them here to demonstrate a malfunctioning camera-module. In fact I can show you pictures that show the superiority o/t 808 (even from that same site). 
    e.g.
    Lumia 920  http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/big​shoot/920church.jpg
    808PV   http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/big​shoot/808church.jpg
    Lumia 920 http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/big​shoot/920tesco.jpg
    808PV http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/big​shoot/808tesco.jpg
    On these 2 examples you clearly see that the 808PV is better then the 920 (and the last scene should have been the 920's territory and yet it fails miserable)
    Also the worse experience with software upgrades also happens on Lumia users. Some have the feeling that their camera's perform worse after their latest upgrade. It seems Nokia still FU this process just as any other manufacturer does. 
    Or do you really think that Xperia users (or Galaxy users or HTC users) have different experiences? the Apple fora are filled with people unhappy about the things that got broken after their last update.
    I am glad that Nokia still delivers (minor) updates. I too would like to see Nokia give power users more options instead of removing them. Just like the awfull light grey theme. They should have included BOTH dark and light themes to give us CHOICE! The only thing we can do is ASK Nokia to release the dark theme as a seperate product/download. Or make a suitable theme ourselves. ;-)
    the same with all the other options. In fact IMHO Wifi is NOT BORKED, I've never seen them advertize 5Ghz band and as for the browser, it IS very usefull. It's the only one with (limited) Flash support build in (Android has removed Flash support in later builds so who are you to complain) and is quite fast (just disable javascript to make it as fast as the Iphone 4S). That website creators can't build proper websites anymore without stupid javascript is not Nokia's fault, complain to the site-maintainers. 
    And as for Nokia's Lumia range of devices... they still can't do halve of what a N8 can do, even WITH a "borked" Belle Refresh...

  • When will LabVIEW Drop Support for the NXT?

    We currently use LabVIEW to program LEGO NXT kits in our engineering courses.  However, LEGO is phasing out the NXT within the next year or two.  Does anyone know the LabVIEW/NXT life cycle plan, i.e., when will LabVIEW no longer support the NXT platform?

    Hi Joel777,
    NI doesn't currently have a definitive roadmap for future NXT support in LabVIEW, but I recommend you check out the community page for updated modules. I would also recommend adding any feedback you have regarding future releases to this page in the comments section and periodically checking this page for support updates.

  • Dropped support for high-def dvd?

    Does anyone know if Mavericks dropped support for the HD DVD format offered by Compressor 3?
    A DVD authored with this format will not play on an iMac (2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks, but will play on a Mac Pro (2x2Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) running Mac OS 10.6.8. Other DVDs play fine on the iMac.
    Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

    The CalDigit card is not rated to work on the NEWEST MacPros...the ones with different processors and other internal circuitry. It works fine on previous models. The big reason I suggest the Caldigit card over the rest is:
    1) It is half the price with all the same features
    2) It can be installed and removed by the customer. The Apple card can only be installed and removed by a certified Apple dealer.
    Now, Raid 5 is good as it offers PROTECTION...where RAID 0 does not. If one drive dies, the RAID 5 still works. If the same happened to Raid 0, all info is lost...ALL. Raid 5 will lower the capacity of all the drives, as it uses one for this protection, where Raid 0 is larger. Give and take.
    FYI...I cut DVCPRO HD and ProRes on internal drives...no raid. Firewire 800 drives are good for this format too. Raids are only needed for multiple streams of ProRes, and the uncompressed formats. And for protection.

  • Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

    has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image.  What's going on?  I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray!  Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

    In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
    Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.

    Hi SHzKhan,
    According to your error message, we need to verify if you configure the MSDTC correctly, When you have more than one SQL Server involved in a Distributed Transaction, you need to make some changes to the default configuration of MSDTC for these distributed
    transactions to succeed. There is a detail about recommending MSDTC settings for using Distributed Transactions in SQL Server, you can review the following article.

  • ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet?

    ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

    ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version.  I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

  • Why no support for the Leica M9 in LR 2.6 RC?

    Hi - bemused that there's no support for the M9 in this release (especially as LR is bundled with the M9).  Even more confusing as the Standard Adobe calibration profile for the M9 that comes with the LR3 Beta is pretty good (beats the embedded profile that comes with the Leica DNGs) - and this can be added to the LR2.5 profile library with a bit of copying and pasting.
    I'd be grateful to hear from Adobe if there's any chance of a good M9 profile making it to the 2.6 final version.  Seems a shame to miss this opportunity.
    Thanks
    Chris Tribble

    Hello Chris,
    thanks for the nice feedback.
    For the moment, I will use LR for the fast preview of all images, 
    cataloging etc., and RawDeveloper for the fine tuning, as often as the 
    image permit it.
    (sorry for my english!)
    Lets hope that we will get through all that without loosing our 
    perfectly nice temper !
    All the best to you,

  • Firefox dropping support for optgroups?

    It seems that Firefox 4 has dropped support for <optgroup> elements? Why would such a great web development browser do this? Also, the box model has changed with this release.
    Not good guys.

    Plugin are installed outside the control of Firefox and Firefox usually scan specific registry keys to find a specific plugin.
    As long as MS makes a Silverlight plugin available for Firefox then you can use Silverlight in Firefox.

  • Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

    Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
    FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
    As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

    Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
    Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
    If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
    Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
    It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

  • Why no RAW support for the Fuji FinePix HS10?

    This camera is well over a year old.  Why is there no support for the RAW file?

    It is definitely not only Fuji. I used a Panasonic Lumix FX-150 before that has been supported by Adobe Camera Raw for quite some time now. I replaced that camera by a Lumix LX5, but I see that the FX-150 is still not supported by Apple Camera Raw and probably never will.
    If you want wide range RAW support, use Lightroom. (Not to say that Aperture doesn't have its strengths, e.g. support for geocoding.)

  • Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

    Hi, everybody
    I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
    Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
    Routes tried and failed...
    1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
    2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
    At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
    Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.

    Be strong as a ship and wise as a whale

    These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
    These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
    Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
    I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
    installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
    based on that.
    And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
    We also know that from experience.
    We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
    succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
    Microsoft.
    ZEN does that just fine.
