Can I somehow get the kernel version from a hook invoked on the kernel package update?
so I ended up with this (for now): https://gist.github.com/gdamjan/dd94057318f9c68327066068cacf99bc The reason was, I needed to run mkinitcpio by hand for linux-armv7 since the package itself doesn't do it (they expect that the kernel has everything to boot, which is not true since I boot my BeagleBoard over NFS). the second problem is that the `mkinitcpio -p preset` didn't work either since the kver function in mkinitcpio can't find the version out of the zImage file. this current setup doesn't support more kernels though - I'd have to find the KERNEL_NAME for that. ps. not specifing "NeedsTargets" in the hook makes the "read TARGET" block. I guess stdin should be /dev/null in that case. -- damjan
