Looks good to me overall, just two slight wording suggestions (see below)
The `waydroid` package prior to version `1.5.4-2` (including `aur/ waydroid`) creates byte-compiled Python files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process.As a result, the upgrade may overwrite the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update:
As a result, the upgrade may s/overwrite/conflict with/ the unowned files created in previous versions.
``` error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/__pycache__/ __init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/__pycache__/ app_manager.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem``` You can safely update by running the following command:
