In the example config file in the wiki page, the "Run" parameter is when to run the script specified in the [ ] brackets at the top.
So this example would be something like: [rebuildoutofkerneltreedrivers] Package = kernel26 Run = postinstall
Or have I missed something?
That looks fine to me.
<snip> I'm sure it would be possible to have a package set off a hook such as you are suggesting, although I think most packages would have a file that would be the obvious choice to use (e.g. /boot/vmlinuz26 for kernel26). Please add a comment to the wiki page about this.
Yep, I don't see that as a major problem. From what I have seen of the code it might however be easier to start with Package matching (I might be wrong about this but it is my personal opinion). In the end both options would be good, we have at least seen that between us that both variants are desirable.
From my understanding, there should be a list of files involved in a transaction created during conflict checking. So we can hopefully use that to test which hooks need to be run. However, I am not very familiar with that part of the pacman code...
Once we have agreed on good configuration file formats, etc then you are more than welcome to help out coding this.
I would love to help with that, just hope I will have time for it when it gets that far.
That would be great. We always have more ideas floating around that people to code them so it is good to see new coders join in. Allan
