A way of doing both would be to add a simple database, which maps an "event" to a script to be run. Possible events could be "dpkg run", or "postinst of <package name glob>". It'd seem like a more flexible infrastructure than having 8 directories to run-parts over for every package that's changed, at least. (iirc, run-parts is also pretty horrible at passing information to and from the scripts) Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
