Hello, what about an approach that keeps all settings of a specific hook inside the hook script itself? This would just work after deployment of a hook script in /etc/pacman.d/hooks.d without any configuration file hassle. The Hooks would be self contained in files that pacman could source before doing anything. And if someone wants to know what a hook do and when it will be used there is only one place to look.

The one problem I see with that is that the actual script needs to be run. The post_install scripts etc, just source and run the script in a shell. This becomes more difficult if we have to keep information what files trigger the hooks to be run and when. Allan
