Cool! RedHat finally implemented Triggers in RPM. This means we can
easily deal with upgrades because we can create scripts which get
triggered by other packages being installed or upgraded. For example,
we can create a trigger to update /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/services, or
to replace the Athena /etc/sendmail.cf....
We should go through the Athena RPMS and change the spec scripts to
use triggers when that is the right thing to do.
