+on rpms like gnome-icon-theme we have :
+
+# automatic gtk icon cache update on rpm installs/removals
+# (see http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Rpm_filetriggers)
+install -d %buildroot%{_var}/lib/rpm/filetriggers
+cat > %buildroot%{_var}/lib/rpm/filetriggers/gtk-icon-cache-gnome.filter << EOF
+^./usr/share/icons/gnome/
+EOF
+cat > %buildroot%{_var}/lib/rpm/filetriggers/gtk-icon-cache-gnome.script << EOF
+#!/bin/sh
+if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
+  /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --force --quiet /usr/share/icons/gnome
+fi
+EOF
+chmod 755 %buildroot%{_var}/lib/rpm/filetriggers/gtk-icon-cache-gnome.script
+
+
+If you don't know what a file trigger is :
+
+Filetriggers allow to run some scripts when some file has been added or removed.
+
+The typical use cases are:
+
+    updating /etc/ld.so.cache when some libraries have been
+added/removed in /usr/lib or /lib
+    running update-menus to update menus of non-XDG compliant desktops
+when some *.desktop have been added/removed in /usr/share/applications
+
+
+Now this is handled differently in rpm5 so those filetriggers have been removed.
+
+so if you plan to sync those rpms from mandriva to mageia :
+uClibc
+apache-conf
+rarian
+GConf2
+php-pear
+desktop-common-data
+glibc
+nspluginwrapper
+desktop-file-utils
+oxygen-icon-theme
+vdr
+grub2
+ibus-table
+nagios
+
+
+PLEASE  TAKE CARE TO NOT REMOVE THE FILETRIGGERS AND NOT BACKPORT RPM5
+NEW FILETRIGGER METHOD.
+
+
+In a neat future ( rpm 4.9.0 ) we will remove "some" filetriggers from
+our rpms because it will be handled. But this will have to be looked
+in detail.
+
+i hope that this time i explained better :)
