[solved] Editing an initcpio hook, how to preserve changes?

I need to edit few initcpio hooks, but my changes will be overwritten on updating; what is the best practice to avoid this problem?

For example I might want to change /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/encrypt owned by cryptsetup, when I update cryptsetup the file will be reverted.

Write to /etc/initcpio/hooks/encrypt.
