A per transaction file trigger that runs before %posttrans scriptlets

[DaanDeMeyer]

We're looking to move systemd unit operations in rpm scriptlets to %posttrans instead of %postun. While looking into this, I discovered that currently systemctl daemon-reload is run via %transfiletriggerpostun which is executed after %posttrans scriptlets. I'd like to have a transaction scriptlet that is executed before %posttrans scriptlets.

Alternatively, having the file trigger priorities apply to %transfiletriggerpostun as well so that triggers with a sufficiently high priority are executed before %posttrans scriptlets would also solve my issue.

Right, this sounds like a reasonable request. Currently, transactional scriptlets, whether trigger-based or normal, are executed in a fixed order, which means the priority value is not respected for these, as you've noted. I think this deserves an RFE. That's not to say this would be easy to implement, but it does make sense to me.

In fact, there was a fix recently that involved priorities & %transfiletriggerpostun but it doesn't address this particular issue.

OK, talked to the team and decided to file a ticket after all: #3353

Thanks!
