Circa 2005-06-01 dixit Paul Nasrat: : And what happens if someone uses a non rpm cli to do the install : (rpmlib) potentially via a gui, or via kickstart. Then the postinstall script runs, and somecommand runs and gets its input programmatically from a here document or an expect script and ... it's the same no matter what method is used to install the package (apart from rpm2cpio). : rpm installs are designed to be non-interactive. Instead write a config : program users can use post install. That's what this whole conversation has been about. You obviously haven't been paying attention. -- jim knoble | jmknoble@xxxxxxxxx | http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/ (GnuPG fingerprint: 809F:09B9:9686:D035:4AB0::9455:124B:0A62:DD6A:76D6) ..................................................................... :"The methods now being used to merchandise the political candidate : : as though he were a deodorant positively guarantee the electorate : : against ever hearing the truth about anything." --Aldous Huxley : :...................................................................:
