Bleeding edge work is being done one this but you can not do this at the moment with any released version of rpm. Your example specifically stated you want to handle installation directory if so you need to use relocation in which case I thought abusing relocation would suffice, if you are not doing relocation I would *not* advise this approach. > How can i do it? I know about using prefix but i dont think i should use Could you please explain your need more clearly and reasoning behind it. Remember rpm installs are meant to be non-interactive and can be done via the api/depsolver bypassing the command line. Depending on the nature of your need having a config file which has the parameters in and on first run of your application prompting for entry may be your best approach Paul _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
