There should be a post-transaction script hook in RPM itself, rather

Either the the package postinstall script sets some flag somehow that
the script sees, or better yet, the script is provided a list of all
modified/added/removed files, which it can simply grep through, and make
decisions like "Something changed in /usr/share/icons, better update the
cache" or "Something changed in /usr/lib, better run ldconfig".
Well, ldconfig should probably be started directly, as other packages
might want to start using the just installed package in their scripts.
Otherwise agreed, e.g. for the Icon-Cache, scrollkeeeper or stuff like
that putting back the actual work to the end of the transaction and
running is just once for all freshly installed packages would be very
nice and could save a lot of time afaics.
The
individual packages then don't have to worry about it at all.
An ideal solution for a large class of packaging issues, certainly.
Anyone have any concrete proposals of how to implement this? (And such
discussions would best take place on the fedora-packaging list)
Just wondering if we should solve this completely or in parts directly
in rpm...
