@streblo, the intention for me was as follows:
pre
-copy of /boot that can easily be restored in case that a kernel or microcode update goes south and the system is no longer bootable.post
-copy in case I accidentally (or intentionally) changed a file in /boot and then I want to restore it to its latest state.streblo commented on 2024-02-16 22:51 (UTC)
Thanks for the maintaining this.
The wiki doesn't really explain, what are the pre and post copies of /boot needed for? Presumably you're always going to be restoring the post copy?

@superhansel It works for me.

Hi BryanLiang, of course - thanks for the suggestion. I've updated the packet accordingly. Feel free to leave some feedback if it works out for you!

I checked the hooks, and they appear to be compatible exclusively with the Linux package. Could you please consider adding support for other kernels like linux-zen and linux-lts?

Well spotted! Thank you, I've updated the package according to your feedback.

Please add
backup=('etc/pacman-boot-backup.conf')
to thePKGBUILD
, so that a user modified configueation file stays in place on package upgrade.Thanks for maintaining!

ncurses

is used in the$install
script.Regards!

@superhansel Hi, there are not any best-practies that I could recommend you. I think the best solution would be to place a .conf file in /etc and let the hook use that path.
