I am confused. Given that h hooks support is only provided by pacman >=5, shouldn't such PKGBUILDs require that in their depends array?
Just my two cents, Gesh
While that would ensure the pacman is upgraded to 5.0, there's no guarantee it would be upgraded before the package requiring hooks.
Talking about Arch Linux: Could we simply add a news entry and tell people to upgrade pacman and its dependencies first, as we usually do when this kind of situation arises? Of course, we would need to make sure that none of the dependencies use hooks for the time being...
