triggers were the suggestion of the package reviewer to avoid multi-ownership(IIRC). If there is unanimity on what the correct solution should be, I'm sure Elio would be happy to implement it. Moving /etc/prelink.conf.d to filesystem would obviously be the simplest for the nss package.On Tue, 2009-09-01 at 07:35 +0200, Michael Schwendt wrote:The packaging style in the nss-softokn package continues to bug me. There are RPM triggers being used to install/remove a prelink config file whenever the prelink package gets installed/removed. According to a comment in the spec file, it is only done like that because the package doesn't want to own the /etc/prelink.conf.d directory. Nothing else is run in the scriptlets, just a file is moved or deleted. Previously, albeit in the different nss package, it used to be duplicate directory ownership: $ repoquery --whatprovides /etc/prelink.conf.d prelink-0:0.4.0-7.fc11.i586 nss-0:3.12.3.99.3-2.11.4.fc11.i586 nss-0:3.12.3-4.fc11.i586 Is this a result of the recent move to avoid duplicate directory ownership?rpm could start refcounting directories any day now and that'd be just fine. Some people like multiple ownership, some don't. The package guidelines recommend against it, but don't forbid it. It's a judgement call. In this particular case I think multiple ownership of the directory is better than triggers, but that moving /etc/prelink.conf.d to filesystem would be even better.
