Midway through a system upgrade, the 'kernel26' package is upgraded and the kernel is rebuilt. I actually think this should always be the final step of the process, so that no other kernel-related packages are upgraded after it's rebuilt.

I'm trying to avoid the need to rebuild the kernel manually, which is currently necessary when a package that's used in my 'HOOKS' variable isn't upgraded until after 'pacman' rebuilds the kernel. You might wanna force it to upgrade kernels last.
This task depends upon

there is no way of doing that because dependencies are sorted based on them. that's the whole point of the package managers.

i guess you are using catalyst from aur and has a hook implemented. What would help is hook support in pacman.
