Pacman hooks that I like, so they are installed

libalpm, and through it, pacman, has a concept of hooks. See alpm-hooks(5) for details.

There are a few that I’ve found pretty handy:

• etckeeper installs a hook to commit /etc
• needresetart installs a hook to check if there are any running things that need, well, to be restarted
• my reboot-required hook that triggers on broadly-used packages
• pacman-backup-hook makes a list of packages in /etc/pkglist.txt
• don’t leave ghost services with systemd-cleanup-pacman-hook
• check python modules for restart with detect-old-python-modules
