Pacman hook for --Systemd printed on boot not the same as installed ?

I posted this at the Arch Forums today. It is self explanatory.

I am doing a fresh install of Arch. Going through all my notes in zim at the same time to tidy them up. I have an entry for a packman hook which I got from the wiki way back and have been using it ever since.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=215411

On checking the wiki there is no longer any mention of this hook, not in PACMAN or SYSTEMD.
This I believe is the wiki entry I followed,

Systemd version printed on boot is not the same as installed package version

You need to regenerate your initramfs and the versions should match.
Tip: A pacman hook can be used to automatically regenerate the initramfs every time systemd is upgraded. See this forum thread and Pacman#Hooks.

 

This might be a good pacman hook so that you don't have to manually remember this everytime systemd is updated:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = systemd

[Action]
Description = Generating initramfs...
Depends = linux
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux 

 

Put it in a new file in /etc/pacman.d/hooks  make sure filename has .hook suffix.

Is this still necessary ?
If it is why has it gone from the wiki ?

Thanks in advance for any help on this. ;-)

 

Last time I posted at the forums just a short while ago I had a very nice and helpful reply.

The problem with taking notes on archlinux is that things change so fast that the notes are quickly outdated

Sort of true. Quite a lot of things stay pretty much the same but a lot of stuff changes out of all recognition too.

 

I am still looking for an answer to my query though.

From last month:

With the release of mkinitcpio v38, several hooks previously provided by Arch packages have been moved to the mkinitcpio upstream project. The hooks are: systemd, udev, encrypt, sd-encrypt, lvm2 and mdadm_udev.

Thanks. I had caught on about the microcode stuff but missed the other hook stuff.
