So I guess in my case it is more complicated, however as an example.
Say I want to customze the background of plymouth charge on the livecd-
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/charge/charge.plymouth
Change the settings to
BackgroundStartColor=0x000000
BackgroundEndColor=0x000000
I can do this 3 ways.
a) rebuild the plymouth-theme-charge package.
b) create a simple package with a rpm trigger or rpm post script to
change this.
c) do it via the post installation
All 3 ways will work, easiest should be c). However even though I can
update the initramfs in %post, it is not used since the initrd0.img is
created prior to the post install scripts getting run.
I totally agree %post should run as last, however in the case of a live
image creation the initrd0.img gets copied out of the install
environment prior to %post getting run. Kind of defeats the purpose of
%post, if I am not mistaken.
Perhaps the patch I posted is not the best solution, but I think it
should be possible to manipulate the contents of initrd0.img from post.

Grant,
I'm intrigued as to why you want to do it.
Intuitively, if the initramfs copying process is as independent of the
%post scripts as you suggest, then it's not obvious why it would be of
any benefit to switch the order round.
