--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.125 Severity: wishlist Usertags: declarative-packaging Hi, The update-initramfs tool currently has a bit of magic for deferring changes during upgrades (by exploiting dpkg-trigger). This is fine, but I was wondering if we could perhaps add a file-based interest trigger (or simply migrate to a declarative activate-noawait trigger). I got basically two reasons for this bug: * Request for support in debhelper #491027 and lintian #678962 * Promotion of "declarative packaging"[1]. At first glance[2], I would recommend adding a file-based trigger for the following reasons: * Packages would just need to install files in usr/share/initramfs-tools/{hooks,scripts} and initramfs-tools would take care of the rest. * There would be no need for lintian tags or changes to debhelper to improve support. It would "just work"(tm). This file-based trigger would be used in /addition/ to the existing trigger. AFAICT, some packages only conditionally need to trigger update-initramfs (and these would still need to be able to call "dpkg-trigger --no-await update-initramfs"). * What do you think about this suggestion? * Alternatively, would the use of declarative triggers[3] be ok for the debhelper support? Thanks, ~Niels [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/DeclarativePackaging [2] I admit having very limited overview over the use-cases around update-initramfs. [3] Like we did with ldconfig. Basically add activate-noawait update-initramfs to the packages' triggers file.
