Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2014-03-20 00:18:55 UTC 
This will run triggers as appropriate for the modules listed as
arguments to the command.

If no arguments are given, all available triggers are run.

I'm fine with this, but what's the situation where you would have to manually run 'jhbuild postinst' ?
Comment 3 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2015-01-06 19:26:07 UTC 
I plan to get rid of the packagedb.xml file and replace it with individual files for each module.  I believe this to be sane since we only ever perform operations on single packages at a time anyway, and it would let us git rid of the ugly locking that we need to do.

After that change, it will be possible to create a tar of the build result of a single module, complete with metadata (by taking the info file, the manifest, and the installed files listed in the manifest).

The intended use for postinst is to allow unpacking a bunch of those .tar files and then running the triggers to end up with a fully-working jhbuild environment.
