The frontend needs a couple of tweaks in order to do that. The rest should be straight-forward, I think (but I might be wrong, it's been some months since I last looked at that item of my ToDo list.) The frontend basically assumes that the package directory is already when it starts calling the collection scripts, however, the directory is created at unpack level 1. The same tweak would be needed if we want the unpack level 1 replacement collection script to take care of removing the directory. The Auto-Remove flag should of course not be specified. The collection script needs to be called with 'remove-<package type>' Deciding what collection scripts need to depend on the unpack level 1 replacement might be tricky, though. Basically they all depend on it. Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert - Debian Developer www.debian.org - get.debian.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
