Older versions of the flash-plugin package provided by macromedia.mplug.org had a technical solution to this using a post install script which would open an EULA click-through window with a timeout if X display was detected. Unattended package installs and upgrades would still work, but the setup command would have to be run later manually to run through the agreement to the license before the plugin could be used. Putting support directly into rpm or rpm based tools for this sort of EULA nagging is absolutely unnecessary. For software vendors who feel they must force users to jump through click-through hoops to use the software, the scriptlet facility that rpm provides is more than adequate to serve this purpose. rpm2cpio strips out all sorts of package level crap, including any sort of eula nag implementation you could imagine, so there's no guarantee to the vendor that every user will see the click through eula prior to payload install. But if they really really really want to do it, they can do it for the casual desktop user with a post-install scriptlet implementation like flash-plugin package use to use. -jef"of course i can't find any of the older rpms any more, the adobe/macromedia seems to have loosened up on their licensing notification requirements with the flash 9 release so the current package does not serve as a useful example of how to do this with scriptlets"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
