If you accept the hook, it is necessary to include the two files in the package source and install them to the obvious directory in the PKGBUILD.

sounds reasonable, but i'm not sure about the hook name yet - i'd just call it `kpartx` (and `partprobe` for the other bug you opened, respecively)
your proposed name doesn't really fit well with the others, and i think the tool names themselves make it obvious

thoughts?

Fine by me.

Could you test multipath-tools 0.7.9-3?
Comment by Robin Broda (coderobe) - Sunday, 20 January 2019, 18:04 GMT
actually, i'm going to undo this in favor of falconindy's suggestion in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61481#comment176480;
could you come up with such a udev rule?
Comment by Neven Sajko (Neven) - Sunday, 20 January 2019, 18:51 GMT
I actually do not have time for messing with Udev and systemd initramfs right now. Maybe I will just release it in the AUR as is.

This looks a bit old and crufty and doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. Is it still needed/wanted?

I agree, requesting closure.
