If you don’t like using pacman hooks, don’t . If you feel like sharing your how-to’s please open a thread.
Please guys no more suggestion about how to use other various method to have ‘similar’ results, because if you do that on all how-to threads, it is infinite, this is by essence how it works, you can achieve the same thing in various different ways, for almost everything. This is completely off topic.
Point of the thread: creating a pacman hook to check for .pacnew files. That’s all.
I just noticed my initial post has been edited by @Fabby and it now has errors in it, and I can’t edit it now. Fabby, fix the pacman hook or put the previous script path back, because now it doesn’t match…
You changed the executable path.
On a side note, why can’t I edit my own post now? Aren’t we supposed to be able to edit WIKI posts (and aren’t post in tutorial category considered WIKI posts or something like that?)
It could be a good idea, would that work with Pamac too then? That could improve the script itself if it adds notification in that case (but if it only works with Pacman, then I don’t think it is relevant to add it, as it already adds a warning in Pacman output, which was the purpose of the script initially, and adding more warnings would seem redundant at least, and now I imagine adding sound alarms, flashing popups, and so on ).
).
