+The short answer is filetriggers, which are automatically invoked by the build 
+system when the need is detected.
+You can find them at /var/lib/rpm/filetriggers/.
+
+There is a script for the scrollkeeper function.  It was actually replaced by 
+rarian some years ago, but the old name was kept.  And now filetriggers 
+automatically invoke the appropriate script when the need for this function is 
+detected.
+
+Mageia has aggressively cleaned spec files of packages, to remove references to 
+scripts no longer required.  This makes the spec files a lot easier to 
+maintain.  Mandriva (from which we forked) contained a lot of unnecessary 
+script references.  This is probably true of many distros.  As well, note that 
+each distro has their own set of filetriggers.
+So look at our packager wikis, Mageia specs for similar packages, and don't 
+hesitate to ask questions.
+
+Regards :)
