It's basically down to whether pkg_setup has to be run with the same system state as pkg_preinst / pkg_postinst. If arbitrary changes to the live system are permitted between pkg_setup and pkg_preinst then the rules I gave are too strict. But I suspect that arbitrary changes will cause breakages to quite a few packages, and given that there're fairly nice solutions even with the stricter requirements, I'd say that the safe rules are better. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/cP0Teg1+tzNvOv_rR_kuFRU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHOcZK96zL6DUtXhERAm3oAJ9g41KGWhhvPD4arsMdNCi+YCDARgCfR5i8 XGZQ5RP7QBaGJsjaLN12NdE= =Ohbu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/cP0Teg1+tzNvOv_rR_kuFRU-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
