What I'm looking to do is have the EULA pop up and require user interaction prior to install. The package in question contains firmware that are not OSS but are re-distributable providing the user acknowledges the EULA.
I've had a look at the Non-Free repo hoping to find a hint, but didn't see anything. All and any help would be appreciated.
This is currently only possible via building a product media. Unfortunately the OBS support for that is not yet complete (will be with OBS 2.6). We lack also quite some documentation for this feature atm :/.
The current workaround is the openSUSE-EULAs package, which need to be installed when kiwi is creating the product. You may want to create a similar package and create a product to get the EULAs for your

So there is no way at present to have it for a single package? My intention was to have the package as a standalone, that users then install if they want it. Users would still be able to use the Snowball board without it, just not all features would be available (bluetooth/wireless/accelerometer).
I know it's not ideal. But maybe a script like the fetchmsttfonts is an option? It shows the EULA and it gets the data, unpacks it and it copies it to the correct location with the correct permissions. The %post can even automatically run the script.

No, it would hide the information when it runs behind GUI YaST or via some automation like auto yast and that would most likely violate the license. So, the only way is to create a product media IMHO.

I've just tested fetchmsttfonts again. I see it has been changed. The old version forced a person to accept the license (y/n) question. The script can be changed to do so. Of course if might mean that it cant run fully automated, but that the user has to run the script him/herself.

Actually fetchmsttfonts tells you the license and EULA only after the fact, not before. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
