I can understand that, specially if you do a make world type action, but when I setup the databae (postgres) and my app I need to create some root user login info that must be supplied by the end user. I'd hate to code that into the ebuild. Another idea is to test for it the first time the app runs and then prompt at that point. > > Is there a framework for this type of activity? > > well, there is bash :-) I thought I saw something about a port of the RedHat newt in CVS > > > > > Thanks, > > -Aaron Held > > -- > regards > Thilo > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev >
