/*! \page triggers Trigger scriptlets Triggers provide a well-defined method for packages to interact with oneanother at package install and uninstall time. They are an extensionof the normal installation scripts (i.e. %pre) which allows one package(the "source" of the trigger package [which I often think of as the "triggered package"]) to execute an action when the installation statusof another package (the "target" of the trigger) changes. \section triggers_example A Simple Example Say the package "mymailer" needs an /etc/mymailer/mailer symlink which pointsto the mail transport agent to use. If sendmail is installed, the link shouldpoint to /usr/bin/sendmail, but if vmail is installed, the link shouldinstead point to /usr/bin/vmail. If both packages are present, we don't carewhere the link points (realistically, sendmail and vmail should conflictwith one another), while if neither package is installed the link shouldnot exist at all. This can be accomplished by mymailer providing trigger scripts which move the symlink when any of the following occurs: \verbatim 1) sendmail is installed 2) vmail is installed 3) sendmail is removed 4) vmail is removed\endverbatim The first two of these scripts would look like this: \verbatim %triggerin -- sendmail ln -sf /usr/bin/sendmail /etc/mymailer/mailer %triggerin -- vmail ln -sf /usr/bin/vmail /etc/mymailer/mailer\endverbatim These are two installation triggers, triggered by one of sendmail or vmail.They are run when: \verbatim 1) mymailer is already installed, and sendmail is installed or upgraded 2) mymailer is already installed, and vmail is installed or upgraded 3) sendmail is already installed, and mymailer is installed or upgraded 4) vmail is already installed, and mymailer is installed or upgraded\endverbatim For the upgrading, the strategy is a little different. Rather thensetting the link to point to the trigger, the link is set to point tothe *other* mailer (if it exists), as follows: \verbatim %triggerun -- sendmail [ $2 = 0 ] || exit 0 if [ -f /usr/bin/vmail ]; then ln -sf /usr/bin/vmail /etc/mymailer/mailer else rm -f /etc/mymailer/mailer fi %triggerun -- vmail [ $2 = 0 ] || exit 0 if [ -f /usr/bin/sendmail ]; then ln -sf /usr/bin/sendmail /etc/mymailer/mailer else rm -f /etc/mymailer/mailer fi %postun [ $1 = 0 ] && rm -f /etc/mymailer/mailer\endverbatim These trigger scripts get run when: \verbatim 1) sendmail is installed, and mymailer is removed 2) vmail is installed, and mymailer is removed 3) mymailer is installed, and sendmail gets removed 4) mymailer is installed, and vmail gets removed\endverbatim The %postun insures that /etc/mymailer/mailer is removed when mymaileris removed (triggers get run at the same time as %preun scripts, so doing this in the %postun is safe). Note that the triggers are testing$2 to see if any action should occur. Recall that the $1 passed to regularscripts contains the number of instances of the package which will be installed when the operation has completed. $1 for triggers is exactlythe same -- it is the number of instances of the source (or triggered)package which will remain when the trigger has completed. Similarly, $2is the number of instances of the target package which will remain. Inthis case, if any of the targets will remain after the uninstall, thetrigger doesn't do anything (as it's probably being triggered by anupgrade). \section triggers_syntax Trigger Syntax Trigger specifications are of the form: \verbatim %trigger{un|in|postun} [[-n] <subpackage>] [-p <program>] -- <trigger>\endverbatim The -n and -p arguments are the same as for %post scripts. The\<trigger\> portion is syntactically equivalent to a "Requires"specification (version numbers may be used). If multiple items aregiven (comma separated), the trigger is run when *any* of thoseconditions becomes true (the , can be read as "or"). For example: \verbatim %triggerin -n package -p /usr/bin/perl -- fileutils > 3.0, perl < 1.2 print "I'm in my trigger!\n";\endverbatim Will put a trigger in package 'package' which runs when the installationstatus of either fileutils > 3.0 or perl < 1.2 is changed. The script willbe run through /usr/bin/perl rather then /bin/sh (which is the default). \section triggers_unusual An Unusual Case There is one other type of trigger available -- %triggerpostun. These aretriggers that are run after their target package has been removed; they willnever be run when the package containing the trigger is removed. While this type of trigger is almost never useful, they allow a package tofix errors introduced by the %postun of another package (or by an earlier version of that package). \section triggers_order Order of Script Execution For reference, here's the order in which scripts are executed on a singlepackage upgrade: \verbatim all-%pretrans ... any-%triggerprein (%triggerprein from other packages set off by new install) new-%triggerprein new-%pre for new version of package being installed ... (all new files are installed) new-%post for new version of package being installed any-%triggerin (%triggerin from other packages set off by new install) new-%triggerin old-%triggerun any-%triggerun (%triggerun from other packages set off by old uninstall) old-%preun for old version of package being removed ... (all old files are removed) old-%postun for old version of package being removed old-%triggerpostun any-%triggerpostun (%triggerpostun from other packages set off by old un install) ... all-%posttrans\endverbatim*/
