[opensuse-buildservice] user input in rpm
Hi list, i hope that I am asking my question on the right list: I am building a zabbix server rpm for openSuSe. Zabbix has an (optional) mysql backend that I want to be installed automatically. This only works when mysql has no root password at the moment, how can I fix that? Can I use user input somehow, so the user can fill in a mysql username/password while installing the rpm? Or is there another way to resolve this issue? Thanks! regards Chantal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

not really. you dont know what package manager is installing your package. in case of zmd e.g. it might be a daemon without any active tty. i think the best approach would be some readme in the doc dir and maybe a script like zabbix-config, which does the needed steps later. hope this helps darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
