Is there any way that I can get dpkg to run custom scripts either before or after it runs a package's pre/post install/remove scripts?
I know that I can configure apt-get to run pre/post invoke scripts, but I'd like to hook into dpkg because not everything is done through apt. The reason I want this is so I can do custom extensions to the package management. eg. . Keep an audit log of all package installation, removal, configuration, etc. . Put all the config files from packages under local version control so that I can see what changed when, and so I can do a three-way diff to automatically merge my local config file changes. . Call dpkg-repack on some packages so I can rollback more easily. Ideally I'd like to have my own scripts called in addition to the package control scripts, with the same arguments. Can anyone suggest how I may do this? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
