This is an updated version of the previous collection patchset [1]. Changes to the patchset include the following: - Move rpmteRunCollection into rpmte.c in the rpmteProcess function - Make the collection list functions part of the internal rpm API where possible - Fix incorrect chroot usage in the exec.so plugin - Rename 'collections' directory to 'plugins' - Use rpm indententation standards
[1] http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-maint/2010-June/002762.html -- This patchset adds Collection support to rpm. Collections provide a way to perform a common action after all members of that collection have been installed. This removes duplicated post installation scripts that only need to be executed once during a transaction. For example, currently all font packages run /usr/bin/fc-cache in the %post section. With collections, we can add all these font packages to the 'font' collection, and remove the %post section. Once all members of the 'font' collection are install, only then will fc-cache be run. To perform collection actions, this patchset adds a minimal plugin system that allows for both simple and complex collection actions. This system adds three hooks that are executed at various stages of the RPM transaction to allow for a wide range of control and flexibility. Included in this patchset is a generic plugin that can be used to easily execute scripts, which should be sufficient for the majority of collection actions.
