Arch Linux backup Pacman hooks

This cluster consists of Pacman hooks and utilities that automatically back up Arch Linux system state—primarily the /boot directory and installed package lists—before and after package transactions. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only four dated entries predating the index start, so it likely predates the index or members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are pacdot-bin, pacman-hook-bootbackup, and pacman-boot-backup-hook, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
