Hi,

it would be nice if linux-headers packages could run hooks files in
/etc/kernel/header_postinst.d on postinst.

This is a partial fix for #560822, dkms package already installs
/etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms, but it only used in Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Giuseppe.

and could you specify what you'd expect there?

User hook scripts.

this bug report is a joke. unless you come up with
code that linux-2.6 should shipp or at least a clear
indication of what it should do, I'd have to close it.

a beginning would be to post said /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms

Let me rephrase a bit.

Currently linux-image-* postint executes all scripts in
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/
In like manner, it would be nice if linux-headers-* postinst executes
scripts in /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/

In the dkms case, if an user install a new kernel image, and after a
while the respective kernel headers, all dkms module will be rebuilt.

Cheers,
Giuseppe

here is some initial work on a patch for this issue. i'm not familiar
enough with kernel packaging right now, and i've run into a problem.
right now, the new headers postinst is placed into the
debian/linux-headers-*-$arch directory at build time, which i thought
would be sufficient to get it into the deb, but it isn't. anyone have
any advise on how to do this correctly?
