It basically makes it impossible to avoid running the trigger.
Which is exactly the point here: Again, here the policy was for all those pkgs to require info-install & run it in %post or %posttrans In order to ease packager work, we replaced this manual work by using a filetrigger. But we stil want info-isntall to be installed, hence this patch > In the case of info, there's no point in running the info commands if > info itself is not installed. You can't use them anyway. :) Again, info-install was manually required before, we just want to automate that. > That said, there may be a case where we might want this, so I'm not > completely ruling out its relevance. _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
