I just saw this was removed by commit ad691001e : "Remove scriptlet START and DONE commands that we don't use"
Since the comment doesn't mention the logging, I just want to make sure this was intended and not overlooked.
Hmm, another good catch. It looks like I did remove the logging unintentionally. I guess we need to incorporate that back in.
ah, I was wrong.
HOWEVER, I'd like to hear opinions on this. I always thought it was a dirty hack to throw this stuff to pacman.log, which previously was a very clean and machine-parseable log file. Its now a big steaming pile of crap, in my opinion. I propose that we log these messages to a separate file, with some date stamps incorporated. Any objections?
+1 - another log file is cool by me.
+1. This will make finding post_install messages easier. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
