.install and .postinstall files

Hi all,

A quick question: Where are 'debian/cloudstack-management.install' and
'debian/cloudstack-management.postinstall' files used? I see the first one
declares folders to be created but I don't know where is this file used.

Thanks,
Nicolas

These files are included the dpkg when building the .deb packages.

They are executed post-installation when installing the .deb on a system.

Thanks Rafael! My bad, it was '.postinst' extension instead of
'.postinstall'

Hey Nicolas,

The .install file should be used by dpkg when the deb packages are built
with dpkg-buildpackage, i don't know about .postinstall extension, usually
you have to specify post-install scripts somewhere.. a grep -r on the code
base should expose if that postinstall file is called from deb packager or
something else.

Anyone else reading this mail, yes, i'm still alive lol, just happened to
open my endless cloudstack mail folder lol :)
