If that's all the user interaction required, no need to search further. Since RPM has no interactive user input support, the only way would be scripting it using automation tools like expect or pexpect (if you're a pythonista) but handling interactive user input is quite buggy (how do you handle translated strings ?, what happens if upstream modifies its user interface ? etc ...) > My initial thought was to backup the database somewhere and > continue. Not acceptable from an user POV. best regards, H. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
