In this case the kernel team better stop using -trunk- in their versions since that is considered newer than -1- by dpkg --compare-versions and grub and others. Using -0trunk- would be OK, but -trunk- is a very bad idea. It already caused a lot of hassle for testing users because grub would always list the older -trunk- kernel before the newer -1- kernel. > 15:06 < tbm> is there a way to know which versions are being installed? > 15:07 < tbm> in any case, any behaviour is better than what we have now. > which is that flash-kernel doesn't get run when you > install a kernel package with a new ABI name > 15:11 < bwh> There's no way to know which versions are being installed, but > you could use a trigger > 15:11 < bwh> depends on whether you think it's acceptable to defer the > invocation of flash-kernel > 15:20 < tbm> a trigger based on what? > 15:22 < bwh> based on triggering from your kernel postinst hook > 15:23 < tbm> ah ok. yeah that sounds good to me > > Anyway, I don't know anything about triggers and don't have the time > to look into this. > > Steve, Joey: can you look into this? -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
