Hi! I prefer a noldconfig (or similar) flag in .PKGINFO (or similar) which would indicate that with this package we don't need to run ldconfig. And makepkg should take care of filling in this entry properly (which can do a dpkg-ported autodetection (user could override this in PKGBUILD) or whatever). ldconfig runs after all package removal or adding. This is not so time-wasting because of disk cache, however in case of many files this is noticeable. So I think _alpm_ldconfig should be called from alpm_trans_release for example (combined with a needldconfig flag if needed, see above). Yes, I know, I may provide a patch ;-), I just ask first, what do you think about these ideas. Bye, ngaba
