triggers: those great improvements Joe User will never see
My random thoughts of the day go to the "triggers" feature in dpkg.
The addition of that feature triggered a lot of noise, discussions and flames a few months ago. Actually more about the way it was added and the schedule that was followed, more than the feature itself. No need to come back on this. That's Debian's life...:-)
These days are over: the feature is here. And frankly I love it even though I probably don't understand more than 10% of it...
Today, I ran quite huge "dist-upgrade" of my laptop (where I try to stick with unstable) after 3...days not upgrading it. And I noticed that:
.../... Dépaquetage de la mise à jour de foo Préparation du remplacement de foo .../... Paramétrage de foo .../... Traitement des « déclenchements (triggers) » pour « menu »... .../...(isn't the French localization of dpkg rocking?). So, as I understand, update-menus is now only called once per run instead of being launched on every package configuration. If I'm correct, this is what triggers are for.
And, frankly, that rocks. This is one of these improvements that will never be noticed by Joe Random User, but exactly one that makes our favourite distro and its derivatives the best all around.
So, that random blog post is dedicated to all people who made this possible. Such things are the reason I'm still stuck to Debian after so many years.
