[Pkg-octave-devel] Octave triggers [was: d/octave.triggers: Use a -noawait type of trigger.]

[Sébastien Villemot]

Hi,

I just want to draw your attention to the commit below that I just
pushed. For more background on the issue, see deb-triggers(5) and
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Task/TriggersCleanup

I think the -noawait type of trigger is the right choice. If my
understanding is correct, this means that dpkg will be allowed to
configure (i.e. run the postinst script) of an Octave Forge package
before "pkg rebuild" has been run. I think this is ok, but if you
notice the appearance of bugs related to Octave Forge package
installations, this may have to do with this change (and in that case,
we will move back to an -await type of trigger).

Best,
