auto rebuilding module after kernel update?

Hi,

I'm using the package broadcom-wl on my Arch-laptop, and it has to be rebuilt everytime I update the kernel. That is no problem until you forget it once and have to go looking for that cable that the misses has thoroughly hidden from me.

Is there a place where I can f.e. specify which modules have to be rebuilt after the kernel is updated? This package is in AUR, so that might pose another problem?

Why would you need an internet connection to rebuild it? Just leave the directory there and makepkg -fi again.

As far as I know there's no support for what you're trying to do. Pacman hooks may come in the next version, it seems.

Yeah, at that time, I didn't think of that...

That would be nice - I'll keep an eye on that one...

Thanks for that.
