Hi, Some thoughts on your proposal:

It would be nice to have a service to package maintainers to invoke hooks at the end at a dpkg or APT run, something like "package group postinst". There's currently no way to avoid running scrollkeeper-update multiple times when multiple packages update their ScrollKeeper files. There's an hackish way of doing this which is to wait for the PID of dpkg to die in a daemonized subprocess spawned during postinst, but this is ugly and I would not consider it as a blessed practice. Another radical solution would be to defer rebuilds on actual uses of the database, but I'm not sure whether they are easy to track. I also imagine we could put this is some single time cron, but this would mean an unpredictable delay to the time of database availability. Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
