Hello,
I through it was only possible for repositories, but I just found the
following in man pacman.conf man page:
Include = path
Include another configuration file. This file can include
repositories or general configuration options. Wildcards in the
specified paths will get expanded based on glob(7) rules.
Based on the man page pacman.d configuration files should accept global
configuration options on the condition I Include the file inside
pacman.conf (meaning it wont follow upstream pacman.conf)
Another good new is that pacman now support hooks, so it may be possible
to add additional update hook (such as qubes-trigger-sync-appmenus.sh).
That's on my todo list.
Anyway, I need to test it first. I will also check the links you
referenced later to better understand your point.
