I'm not quite sure what it is you are asking. Are you asking for how nifty things you can do with udpkg? Right now, udpkg only calls /.../package.config configure /.../package.postinst configure and that's it. I don't see how we would need any *rm scripts in the installer. :) This can, I guess, be expanded if dpkg being tiny is more important than dpkg being stellar at maintainer scripts. > Another approach we're thinking about is regular dpkg support for > directory exclusion during package unpack, for things like documentation > and localization files. Of course, that's more an issue for > debian-dpkg... :) Isn't that what has been discussed before, for handhelds and stuff? If you're willing to make udebs anyway, you won't need this though, as I don't see why dpkg wouldn't be able to handle udebs. There's nothing magic about udebs, they just happen to have different names and don't follow policy more than they like... /Martin
