Hi!

Thanks for the pointer. I just had a look, let me make sure I understand
how it works now. So if I understand well (by reading your example
package), the only thing I have to do (for horizon) is:

1/ Create a debian/openstack-dashboard.triggers that would contain a
list of "interest /usr/share/javascript/<something>", for example:

interest /usr/share/javascript/jsencrypt

then I'd get triggered in my postinst, and then I should do:

2/ in debian/openstack-dashboard.postinst, implement something like:

if [ "$1" = "triggered" ] ; then
	/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/manage.py compress --force
fi

Is it *that* simple?

Cheers,
