Custom post_upgrade hook?
Something like `customizepkg' but with respect to binary package,
sort of additional `post_upgrade' hook.
I.e. I would like to change some package configuration automatically after upgrade.
For an example:
- changing "hello message" for several utils
- setting some capabilities on certain files
- changing icon size for FBReader
(currently I run sh-scripts every time after corresponding upgrades)
Is it possible to implement subject with not very dirty tricks?
Thank you in advance.

I suggest checking out [pacman-dev], I recall hooks were in the process of being implemented (not sure how far along though)

Re: Custom post_upgrade hook?
Hooks never made it past the "talk about how to do it" stage... I think there was recent patch activity on the mailing list.
