Some of the hook scripts take a list from stdin. By the way: It would be nice if that was documented in the alpm-hooks man page. I see no reason why I can not generate this file list right when I want to run the hooks. In my setup I can ignore anything but the Install hooks. For those I just need to apply the glob patterns in the Target fields. That should not be too hard. Best Regards, Tobias
