Installations of rpms are by design meant to be non-interactive. Better to gather that information in a post installation configuration script. > Is there a way by which this information can be added to the rpm in the > field without recreating the rpm ? You really should not be trying to modify the rpm in the field. You really should not be trying to include local customizations in the rpm package. The rpm package should be *the same for everyone* and so customizations should go into configuration files and either be marked as a %config(noreplace) file so rpm knows this or handled outside of rpm entirely as a customizable configuration file.
