Good point, and that's where we're heading in the long run.

Here's an idea: Assuming we only have a single rebaseall script along the lines of autorebase.bat. A simple mechanism which works with both of your proposals, without much intelligence required, without clobbering, and with easy cygport support, would be this: autorebase.bat gets renamed to 2r-autorebase.bat (Achim) or 02-autorebase.bat (Yaakov), To handle the dependency issue, every package coming with DLLs will not create the same 01-rebaseall.{sh,bat} script as Yaakov proposed, but rather a script called, for instance, 1r-needrebase-${packagename}.sh (Achim) or 01-needrebase-${packagename}.sh (Yaakov) These scripts run prior to the rebase script, and they do nothing but if [ -e /etc/postinstall/{2r,02}-autorebase.bat.done ] then mv /etc/postinstall/{2r,02}-autorebase.bat.done \ /etc/postinstall/{2r,02}-autorebase.bat All these scripts are on an earlier stratum, so they run earlier than {2r,02}-autorebase.bat. After they ran, they get renamed to 1r-needrebase-${packagename}.sh.done, so they are run only when the package gets installed or updated. {2r,02}-autorebase.bat gets run every time any package got installed or updated. Same thing for update-info-dir. Am I missing something? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
