Here's how _update-info-dir does it: sdesc: "Generate info/dir file automatically" category: _PostInstallLast requires: texinfo ash autodep: usr/info/.* incver_ifdep: yes You'd probably want something like: sdesc: "Conditionally move default files to proper location" category: _PostInstallLast requires: ash autodep: etc/defaults/.* incver_ifdep: yes This would run automatically whenever packages are downloaded and installed in one shot. It wouldn't run if someone downloads everything and then installs piecemeal, though. The script to move the files would be the only thing in the package and it would be a post-install script. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
