How about the possibility to add a userscript that is called if the communities kernel is updated via pacman? People could add their common stuff there, like rebuild nvidia, rebuild ndiswrapper and things like that. It could easily be added, and I am tired of doing those jobs again and again. Please think about it.
This task depends upon

A possible feature for pacman is adding "hooks" into pacman.conf that are triggered when certain packages are upgraded.

This would probably wait til libpacman.

What's the status of this issue?

I think this is a pretty nifty idea as well. I'm not sure how implementation would work, perhaps just specify an absolute path to something to be run? Or perhaps an upgrade.d/, with a script similar to run-cron?

Any plans to do this?
This has been on the list for a long time and in view of the refusal to change post-install package scripts (such as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30028 and perhaps many others), this will solve a long stading issue with post-package install maintenance.

Plenty of plans, but no progress.

Can you please prioritize this feature?

No?

As an average arch user, this is very important for me too, to install etckeeper properly so I do not need to resort to aliases. Please give it a higher priority.
