I'm working on a hack for dpkg to allow equivalent functionality to rpm triggers.
In my hacked dpkg there are directories: /etc/dpkg/postinst.d /etc/dpkg/postrm.d /etc/dpkg/preinst.d /etc/dpkg/prerm.d run-parts is used to run the scripts in those directories, with each script taking a single parameter of the name of the package that is being installed, removed, etc. The pre*.d scripts are run before the package provided pre* scripts. The post*.d scripts are run after the package provided post* scripts. I am thinking of having just /etc/dpkg/scripts.d and then having the scripts have two parameters, one for the package name and the other for the operation. Please let me know what you think. Before anyone asks, I am not releasing my code yet. I have to do more testing myself before I'll consider releasing it (and having non-standard versions of dpkg floating around is not what we really want). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
