Getting closer and closer to the actual release, but if you want to check it out right now and test it, just add these lines (the entry should be first in the list of repositories) to /etc/pacman.conf:

[gnome-unstable] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

This is ultimately not very productive, but I've had free time lately for obvious worldly reasons.

I feel as if I'm missing something obvious, but is there any way to completely remove a package and its directories through pacman without running

rm -rf /path/to/directory]

manually after

pacman -Rs package_name

and hoping you get everything?

Otherwise, my best solution so far has been to run

tree 

with options where I can browse through my directories and check file-by-file.

I've unintentionally developed a neurosis where I want my system as clean as possible since I've put enough time into it. Which may be dumb, but yeah.

Today after a full upgrade and reboot Chromium didn't work. It stared but showed only errors, running it from the console I was able to see that it could not allocate memory. I had plenty of RAM so after a long search for the cause it turned out to be some bad configuration file in /etc/security/limits.d/ left by some package a long time ago. Removed that file and everything works fine now.
