Hi!
Oh, that was a neat idea...
Which I have unfortunetly missed when searching in the archives. :-)
If you want to read the discussion check out the archives from about 23
Jan this year.
I think it should be possible to have it triggered by packages as well,
something like this:
[kernel-install]
Package = kernel26
Run = rebuildoutofkerneltreedrivers
In the example config file in the wiki page, the "Run" parameter is when
to run the script specified in the [ ] brackets at the top.
(I recognice the ridiculous name of the Run-argument and that this probably
wouldn't work as a reboot probably is necessery first but just something
as an example. (and it was this need that triggered my own idea).)
Of course it is possible to have it triggered by file in this case as well,
just list files in this package and choose one of them, but it is still an
unecessery extra step (even if it is a small one)
I'm sure it would be possible to have a package set off a hook such as
you are suggesting, although I think most packages would have a file
that would be the obvious choice to use (e.g. /boot/vmlinuz26 for
kernel26). Please add a comment to the wiki page about this.
Once we have agreed on good configuration file formats, etc then you are
more than welcome to help out coding this.
Cheers,
Allan
