Packages generated by kernel-package have been calling hook scripts for a long time. The maintainer scripts in Debian's linux-2.6/linux source package are derived from kernel-package and do the same. And packages generated by the upstream deb-pkg target have also done this since before the beginning of git history (Linux 2.6.12-rc2).
In 2010 Debian adopted a policy that actually specifies how these hook scripts should be used: http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html My memory is that Ubuntu's linux source package was changed to call hook scripts only after that policy existed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242340 Title: Kernel update should invoke shell script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kernel-package/+bug/242340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
