Hi,

I want to build rpm with installation scripts using variable, which
value is passed at rpm installation time.
Additional requirement is that scripts should not be interactive. Is
there're some standard way to do it (e.g. command line flag to rpm -i)

Thanks

You can use --define for build time configuration. There are many rpm
spec files which do this (Eg. to do make check in the build ... or build a
debug build etc.)
If you want something at installation time, turn it into a runtime
config. via. a config. file or something.
