Pacman hooks

Would it be possible to document how this process can be automated with pacman hooks? E.g. each time there is an update to the arch kernel, you trigger a script which builds your custom kernel?

You can't call pacman from alpm hooks, as the database is locked. This means you couldn't run makepkg -s to install deps/makedeps nor install the package once built. You could potentially build in a chroot, but without installing, it seems of limited use. Scimmia (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
