Hi,
I have this pacman hook:
++++ % cat /etc/pacman.d/hooks/systemd_mkinitcpio_regenerate.hook [Trigger] Operation = Install Operation = Upgrade Type = Package Target = systemd
[Action] When = PostTransaction Exec = /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux ++++
It used to trigger only when upgrading the "systemd" package, for a post transaction. However now it's triggering on every system upgrade, which is not what I was expecting...
Thanks,

That is because the kernel now comes with its own, better hook.

I see, you mean this one I'd guess:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/99-linux.hook?h=...
Right? Well, it's still missing systemd, :-)... Hmm, so btrfs-progs includes initcpio hooks, how would I guess? jaja.
Well, it means now I'll see more mkinitcpio runs than before, :-) Plus the one I added, :-)
Thanks a lot,

Can't think why you'd think so.

Jaja, I didn't inspect the files owned by systemd. My bad, :-)

I see... So systemd is also covered, and there's no need for my hook anymore. That's great !
Thanks a lot,

Or, if you just care which packages have files there but not what files those are:
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/initcpio

The linux package maintainer did this specifically so people would never have to remember to do it by hand (or use custom hooks) anymore. ;)
AFAIK you should never end up in a position where the initramfs needs to be updated but files in /usr/lib/initcpio weren't updated/installed.
