It's a bit more than complex than necessary because I wanted it to be fast, as it is invoked lots of times. I've added some comments to explain it a bit: -----------------------------------8<------------------------------------------- :0 * ^X-Mailing-List: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> { # Detect installed packages, _fast_. It will miss packages whose # source package name does not match a binary package (e.g., source # 'baghira' produces 'kwin-baghira'), or if such binary is not # installed (e.g., source 'kdebase' only has 'kate' installed). But # those are certainly not the common case; see below for a rule # handling them. :0 * ^Subject: Accepted \/[^ ]+ * ? /usr/bin/test -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/$MATCH.list $DEBIAN/devel-changes/ # There is a watchdir to monitor certain packages (still, cheap # rule). :0 E * ? /usr/bin/test -e /home/adeodato/devel/debian/watch/$MATCH $DEBIAN/devel-changes/ # Use grep-status (faster than dpkg) to check the rest. :0 E * ? /usr/bin/grep-status -X -Fsource $MATCH --and -Fstatus installed -q $DEBIAN/devel-changes/ :0 E /dev/null } -----------------------------------8<------------------------------------------- Uhm, now that I think of it, the above isn't much of an optimization, since grep-status will be called most of the times, for uninstalled packages (which are the majority). But *shrug*, I wrote that back in the days when I had time to eternally tweak things. ;-) Cheers, -- Adeodato Sim� EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. -- Oscar Wilde -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
