Hi -
I have been assigned the task of finding an
installation method for my company's software for Linux, and it seems that using
command line RPM is the best way to go about this. The problem, however,
is that I must meet a requirement to display an "End User License
Agreement" (EULA for short), which our customers who use the software must agree
to before being allowed to continue with the installation.
I have tried to add a "read" command in the
%pre section, in order to ask the user if they agree to this EULA, but this does
not work for some reason. I have seen other questions posted regarding
similar problems with reads in %pre, and the responses have basically said that
you can't and shouldn't do this.
Does anyone know a way to incorporate a EULA into a
command line RPM "install?" Is it true that there is absolutely no way to
query the user for input inside of %pre? If I can't find a way to meet
this requirement, my boss is going to recall the use of RPM from our project's
plan. RPM seems to be a very useful and powerful tool, and it would be
really disappointing if we have to omit it because of this.
Thanks,
Steve
