* From: Mikhail Teterin <mi@kot.ne.mediaone.net>
* Can't you just say "make fetch" if a things is marked IS_INTERACTIVE?
No. Some fetches are interactive.
* =Um, can't you put the license part only in REQ? Then the script run
* =after it can do whatever you want it to.
*
* I can, but the license needs to be accepted before the source is
* extracted. Take a look for yourself...
So REQ needs to be called before extraction. Why is this a problem?
* =Also, I wasn't paying attention to the discussion, but what happens
* =when the user installs it from a package?
*
* That's the thing. The license allows redistribution in source or
* otherwise, even as part of another product, even for (reasonable fee) --
* try to build it and read for yourself :)
Sorry if I wasn't clear -- my question was, don't you need to display
the license when the user installs it from a package? Creating a REQ
file like
#!/bin/sh
echo "djvu license terms"
echo "at&t owns this and you owe them a pat in the back"
echo -n "do you accept? (y/n) => "
read ans
case $ans in
Yy*)
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "oops"
exit 1
esac
and calling it from pre-extract will take care of both the port and
the package, no?
