Hi, Larry Hall (Cygwin), le Sun 22 Apr 2007 21:25:50 -0400, a écrit : > The final decision is, of course, yours but I would say that if it's > really just an installation step, there's nothing technically stopping > you from performing the step automatically through a postinstall script, > for example. Yes of course (I actually call the uninstallation script at preremove). But the question is "do we dare installing a driver just because the user asked for package installation?". The problem is that libusb-win32 might be pulled as a dependency of another package (the upcoming brltty package for instance), in which case the use may be really be aware that some driver will get installed. Maybe I could ship two separate packages: one for the library and one for the driver, and automatically install the driver at postinstall of the second package.
