When creating a package, it would be helpful to have a directory of scripts that are run before and after the apkovl is created.

For example, the correct way to backup a sql database is to do a database dump; a script could be part of lbu to create the database dump before the apkovl is created, and then a script could delete the dump file after the apkovl is created.

That allows flexibility in including “special” things in the lbu archive.

Perhaps
/etc/lbu/pre-package.d/*
and
/etc/lbu/post-package.d/*

with run-scripts rules (like cron)

lbu: implement support for lbu package pre/post hooks

scripts in /etc/lbu/pre-package.d/ will be executed prior creating the
tar ball and scripts in /etc/lbu/post-package.d/ will be executed after.

if pre-scripts fails, then will package not be created.
