a/elogind-243.7-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Moved default udev rules to /lib/udev/rules.d/. Thanks to Robby Workman.
  Added /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/10-enable-session-power.rules.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2020d-noarch-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Make /etc/localtime a symlink pointing into /usr/share/zoneinfo. If you
  have /usr on a separate partition, this might cause time problems prior
  to /usr being mounted (I recommend *not* making /usr a separate partition).
  But if you insist for some reason, you can probably work around it by
  adding the pointed-to directory and timezone file to your empty pre-mounted
  /usr directory.
a/upower-0.99.11-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Added /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/10-enable-upower-suspend.rules.
d/autoconf-2.70-noarch-1.txz:  Upgraded.
d/gnucobol-3.1.1-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
kde/powerdevil-5.20.4-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Moved 10-enable-powerdevil-discrete-gpu.rules.new to
  /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/. Thanks to Robby Workman.
  Moved 10-enable-session-power.rules to the elogind package.
  Moved 10-enable-upower-suspend.rules to the upower package.
  Thanks to GazL.

+# Note on configuration change (2020-12-09):
+# For the past decade and a half, this package has created a symlink
+# /etc/localtime-copied-from and a file /etc/localtime to prevent
+# time skew until /usr is mounted. But having a separate /usr partition
+# hasn't really made sense for a long time and leads to all kinds of
+# bugs these days. We're going to make /etc/localtime a symlink just
+# like everyone else does so that programs that expect it to be a link
+# can fetch the timezone without requiring any special patches.
+# If you insist on making /usr a seperate partition, you might want to
+# put the pointed-to directories and timezone file in your empty /usr
+# directory so that it is available before the real /usr is mounted.
+# Still not recommended though.
