Details

I have a configuration management tool that handles .pacnew files for me, but I need to invoke it manually after -Syu because alpm-hooks can't trigger on pacnew files. It would be nice to have a trigger for this, for example:

[Trigger]
Operation = ConfigConflict
Type = File
Target = *

[Action]
Description = Resolve .pacnew files
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/my-config-mgmt resolve-pacnew
Depends = my-config-mgmt
This task depends upon

You example appears to work...

What do you mean? There's no "Operation = ConfigConflict" in master yet, as far as I can see.

Bah - didn't look at that. But

Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = File
Target = *

assuming "my-config-mgmt" can handle not finding any .pacnew files.
