+
+Post-install update of various system wide caches. Each script will be executed
+only once even if `gnome.post_install()` is called multiple times from multiple
+subprojects. If `DESTDIR` is specified during installation all scripts will be
+skipped.
+
+Currently supports `glib-compile-schemas`, `gio-querymodules`, and
+`gtk-update-icon-cache`.
