Hi All,
I would like to build an RPM package that would ask the user for input
at pre-install time and
use those inputs at post-install time. does anyone know how I can do it?
Can I ask user for input in the %pre script and retrieve those inputs in
the %post script?
No.
RPM is designed to be non-interactive - consider what occurs should you not be installing via a tty - such as with a depsolver (yum/apt/up2date) or a gui.
Without some more clue to what sort of actions you are trying to take it's pretty impossible to suggest alternatives, however here are some thoughts:
1) Encapsulate the dialog on first run. This is done by packages such as the macromedia plugin rpm: http://macromedia.mplug.org/rpmsource/
2) For path changes just make a relocatable rpm
Please provide some more details about what exactly you are trying to achieve.
Paul
