[SOLVED] Post-installation script of certain packages in pacman?

Hey guys,

I want to be able to copy/rename my /boot/vmlinuz-linux to /boot/linux.efi after installing the package. Is there an easier way to do this other than doing this in /etc/rc.shutdown (this also has issues if my computer crashes)? Cron is also a possibility but I don't want a script to be running too often on my computer.

Anyone?

nice, didn't know something like this exists, thanks.

if you switch to systemd at some point: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1099376

I also read something about pacman supporting hooks in the future, but I don't know if this is still on the todo-list.
