install scripts location [SOLVED]

In Ubuntu, I had all installed packages' install scripts, md5sum and file lists in /var/lib/dpkg/info. Where can I find this information (especially the install scripts) on arch?

I'm not sure what information is in those Ubuntu files, but I think the information you want is in the PKGBUILD files. You can see them online or you can download them all using abs.

See /var/lib/pacman/local/<package>/install

Re: install scripts location [SOLVED]

Use 'pacscripts e.g.

$ pacscripts firefox
post_install() {
  update-desktop-database -q
  gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
}

post_upgrade() {
  post_install
}

post_remove() {
  post_install
}

Edit: For checksums, use 'pacman -Sii foo' or expac, if you want different formatting

$ pacman -Sii firefox | grep "MD5 Sum"
MD5 Sum        : 6340b282026bda97dd7b2ca5afe52647

Re: install scripts location [SOLVED]

Thank you, all this info is very good, the directory is indeed /var/lib/pacman/local. pacman -Sii package works for installed and uninstalled packages and pacsripts also appears to do the same.
