[Bug 242340] Re: Kernel update should invoke shell script
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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242340] Re: Kernel update should invoke shell script
I think this exists, it's update-notifier; I think if you drop something in /etc/kernel/postinst.d it'll get run on a new kernel install. (I'm not sure whether it existed when you reported it 4 years ago, but it looks like update-notifier did exist back then, I just don' tknow how much it did). ** Changed in: kernel-package (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242340] Re: Kernel update should invoke shell script
Interesting idea, if it doesn't already exist! Taking it one step further, once this existed and was somewhat standard, the packages themselves could add themselves to it, making it completely transparent to the user. -- Kernel update should invoke shell script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
