[RFC] full triggers
Dear all,
I have branched off tex-common's trunk into branches/full-trigger where
I have implemented triggers for all actions: mktexlsr, fmtutil-sys,
updmap-sys.
Pros and cons are:
Pros:
- mktexlsr is only called when the tex-common triggers are done
- fmtutil-sys is only called when the tex-common triggers are done
and it is necessary
Cons:
- mktexlsr is now always called without any tree argument, so even if
only a small macro package is installed all texmf trees are scanned
again. Formerly we had using dh_installtex that only /var/lib/texmf
and /usr/share/texmf was scanned.
- if formats are installed, then *all* formats are rebuild, ie
fmtutil-sys --all is called. Formerly we could call fmtutil-sys --all
with the argument of the respective .cnf file in /etc/texmf/fmtutil.d
I don't know if those things pay off. If one installs loads of tl
packages at once then for sure. For single package don't know.
What are your opinions?
Best wishes
Norbert
