But I really think that we need 3 types of actions: * delayed execution * instantaneous execution (purges cache) * instantaneous execution if an operation is pending, nothing else (purge the cache). e.g. If a package uses tex to build some sort of documentation at install time (I know it's stupid, but it's just an example ok?) then the delayed operation of indexing the fonts has to be done before (thus my third option). btw, the two later options may be added to the tool later, until they are needed. > -- > OpenBSD fails miserably in this respect, and makes for an example of > how NOT to work with the community on security issues.
