They are then passed to Smart Scopes Server with every request. Using dpkg-query at this stage seems to have big impact on startup time of the Dash (and phone). Michael Vogt suggested a simple postinst/postrm script that is executed for all 3 packages to put & update their versions via a flat text file, e.g. :::::::::::::: debian/postinst :::::::::::::: #!/bin/sh set -e if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then dpkg-query -W -f'${Version}' $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE \ > /var/lib/unity-scopes-shell/$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE fi:::::::::::::: debian/postrm :::::::::::::: #!/bin/sh set -e rm -f /var/lib/unity-scopes-shell/$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scopes-shell/+bug/1389257/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
