Hello,

I need to build an RPM that requires the user to input some values during install time. I've searched regarding this and came to know that RPM doesn't support interactive installation. But I've seen certain RPMs which, for example, requires the user to accept license during install time. Is there any way to do this? The installation of the software that I'm trying to package will always be manual.
You can enter any program/command in the %pre and %post sections of the spec, including ones that ask for user input. These sections are essentially scripts that get executed before and after the files are installed, respectively. If the %pre script(let) exits with a "false" (non-0) status, the rpm won't actually be installed.
