Hello! I haven't used this in a long while, but I suppose the answer is that snap-pac has two hooks (one to create a pre-upgrade snapshot, and another for a post-upgrade one). And for recovery purposes I always needed to boot in either "pre" snapshot, or a little older "post" snapshot anyway, but never in the latest "post" one anyway. Having said that, I don't mind renaming the hook, if you like please submit a PR on Github and I'll merge :)

This hook is running before the pac-snap post hook. Am I doing anything wrong?

The name of the hooks are zz-snap-pac-grub-post.hook and zz-snap-pac-post.hook. I believe they are run in alphabetical order (not sure, though). Can I just change the name to something that is sorted after zz-snap-pac-post.hook? Will this mess up the installation?

I just had an issue where I had ext4 arch and btrfs arch installed on the same machine. grub-mkconfig from ext4 wouldn't work, but if I grub-installed from btrfs I couldn't do grub tricks (see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Recall_previous_entry ).
Solution: 1) Install grub from ext4 chroot
2) mkconfig grub from btrfs (first time should be chroot) but save it to the ext4 /boot (best to have ext4 mounted via your fstab for the below).
3)And from this package, because quality of life, I want the tricks: /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/grub-mkconfig
Edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be where the ext4 grub is, in my case I mounted it to /mnt/ext4/ So I edited to: /mnt/ext4/boot/grub/grub.cfg
This is a very specific use case, based on grub-mkconfig's from ext4 not seeing snapshots, and not creating correct grub-entries for btrfs. Thank you for coming to my ted-talk.

@darkbasic if you are still having trouble, check your ~/.gnupgg/gpg.conf file to make sure you're using a valid keyserver

Would it be possible to list https://github.com/maximbaz/snap-pac-grub as the upstream URL?

The key is available on https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x12C87A28FEAC6B20, and both gpg --search-keys EB4F9E5A60D32232BB52150C12C87A28FEAC6B20 as well as gpg --recv-keys EB4F9E5A60D32232BB52150C12C87A28FEAC6B20 are able to find it.

My key is also available on https://keybase.io/maximbaz, which you can import using curl <https://keybase.io/maximbaz/pgp_keys.asc> | gpg --import.

Seems like your PGP-Key cannot be found on the usual public keyservers.
