DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
libalpm provides the ability to specify hooks to run before or after
|
||||||
|
transactions based on the packages and/or files being modified. Hooks consist
|
||||||
|
of a single '[Action]' section describing the action to be run and one or more
|
||||||
|
'[Trigger]' section describing which transactions it should be run for.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TRIGGERS
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hooks must contain at least one '[Trigger]' section that determines which
|
||||||
|
transactions will cause the hook to run. If multiple trigger sections are
|
||||||
|
defined the hook will run if the transaction matches *any* of the triggers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Operation =* Install|Upgrade|Remove::
|
||||||
|
Select the type of operation to match targets against. May be specified
|
||||||
|
multiple times. Installations are considered an upgrade if the package or
|
||||||
|
file is already present on the system regardless of whether the new package
|
||||||
|
version is actually greater than the currently installed version. For File
|
||||||
|
triggers, this is true even if the file changes ownership from one package
|
||||||
|
to another. Required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Type =* File|Package::
|
||||||
|
Select whether targets are matched against transaction packages or files.
|
||||||
|
See CAVEATS for special notes regarding File triggers. Required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Target =* <path|package>::
|
||||||
|
The file path or package name to match against the active transaction.
|
||||||
|
File paths refer to the files in the package archive; the installation root
|
||||||
|
should *not* be included in the path. Shell-style glob patterns are
|
||||||
|
allowed. It is possible to invert matches by prepending a file with an
|
||||||
|
exclamation mark. May be specified multiple times. Required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ACTIONS
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Exec =* /path/to/executable::
|
||||||
|
Executable to run. Required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*When =* PreTransaction|PostTransaction::
|
||||||
|
When to run the hook. Required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Depends =* <package>::
|
||||||
|
Packages that must be installed for the hook to run. May be specified
|
||||||
|
multiple times.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*AbortOnFail*::
|
||||||
|
Causes the transaction to be aborted if the hook exits non-zero. Only
|
||||||
|
applies to PreTransaction hooks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OVERRIDING HOOKS
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hooks may be overridden by placing a file with the same name in a higher
|
||||||
|
priority hook directory. Hooks may be disabled by overriding them with
|
||||||
|
a symlink to '/dev/null'.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

CAVEATS
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are situations when file triggers may act in unexpected ways. Hooks are
|
||||||
|
triggered using the file list of the installed, upgraded, or removed package.
|
||||||
|
When installing or upgrading a file that is extracted with a '.pacnew'
|
||||||
|
extension, the original file name is used in triggering the hook. When
|
||||||
|
removing a package, all files owned by that package can trigger a hook whether
|
||||||
|
or not they were actually present on the file system before package removal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PostTransaction hooks will *not* run if the transaction fails to complete for
|
||||||
|
any reason.
