Arch Linux has followed Varnish's rebranding to Vinyl Cache by renaming the package to 'vinyl-cache', requiring users to manually update file paths and systemd services. The change involves renaming directories, updating user/group permissions, and managing systemd units. The original 'varnish' package has been removed from the repositories as it's now considered a different upstream project.
Background
Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator and reverse proxy that has been widely used in web infrastructure. The project's recent rebranding to Vinyl Cache has led to downstream changes in Linux distributions like Arch Linux.
