storing root password rpm spec file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all.
I´m packing an application which has got some .sql to configure database.
When you download the tar.gz you have to run the sql by hand, of course, and all tables, and
databases are created.
Well, I would like to make that process automatically when the rpm is being installed.

As all of you could imagine to run the sql you must be root, so, I have no idea about how to ask
for the root password when rpm -i foo.rpm is done.
I mean, I would like to store the root password (I´ve been thinking that could be done with
"expect") to use it with later, so then, the application will be installed and the databases will
be set up correctly, cause I don´t want users to install the rpm and after that run by hand the
sql file.

Any ideas of what to do with the spec file?
Thanks in advance.

Manuel.
