Sure! That was the plan after having confirmed that what I did for the file triggers was correct :) > The only remaining cycles would be the ones activated via dpkg-trigger, which > could probably be detected later on only as an approximated heuristic. For this, Helmut gave me a list of binary packages which have maintainer scripts that contain the string "dpkg-trigger". There are 9 source packages that build binary packages with a direct dpkg-trigger invocation in the maintainer scripts of one of the binary packages they build: glib2.0, glx-alternatives, guile-1.8, guile-2.0, gxine, librsvg, pdns, perl, rygel I plan to create a heuristic which is hopefully able to check for most cases whether or not dpkg-trigger was called with or without --no-await and which trigger was activated by it. Hopefully most people wrote their dpkg-trigger invocations in a single line ;) In addition, going through a codesearch results for dpkg-trigger, we figured out that there are some more applications that call dpkg-trigger. The following seem to call dpkg-trigger but with --no-await so they are not interesting for us: update-python-modules, ldconfig, update-initramfs The following seem to call dpkg-trigger without --no-await and might be useful to detect when used in maintainer scripts. update-catalog update-menus update-texmf-config php5-maintscript-helper aspell-autobuildhash ispell-autobuildhash update-default-ispell update-default-wordlist When searching for binary packages that have one of above strings in their maintainer scripts, we got a list of 1901 binary packages or 1692 source packages that build them (list omitted for brevity). > (I can provide the list of trigger files with contents if you want, so that > you don't need to download them all.) I made this the topic of the other mail. Thanks! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
