Same question here, but actually worth confirming with you: is it a bad practice to execute "systemctl daemon-reload" in post_install() function? I've seen people do that, but so far I was refraining from executing any commands in .install files.
Creating a wiki page that would only tell people to run "systemctl daemon-reload" after installation sounds wrong...
It's pretty wrong to execute this, mostly because the systemd package installs a universal hook to do so and it's therefore outdated bloat to do so.
This is, after all, why we developed hooks for pacman. :)
It was originally added in March of this year: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/systemd&id=c2ba1fefa6e393e5cb4d2c19ba65a4ec4c33fb9f
Ah, somehow wasn't really aware that we also do this for daemon-reload... well then, mv my previous paragraph about this to /dev/null :P cheers, Levente
