Description Nicolai Lissner 2003-10-11 21:11:59 UTC
yes, I know about the reasons why enemy-territory have become an interactive 
ebuild with EULA-acception - but this is a bad solution... 
I started an emerge -up world and left my machine - when I came back after 
some hours I found that the process was not finished as expected, but was 
waiting for my input. A bad idea. 
Here's a possible solution - add some lines into the ebuild like: 
 
if [ -z "${INTERACTIVE}" ] ; 
then ewarn "enemy-territory needs your interaction to install please set 
environment variable INTERACTIVE to confirm." 
else 
...... the actual install process ..... 
fi 
 
something like that.  
 
or (in case id-software would accept it that way) 
 
EULA="read_and_accepted" emerge enemy-territory 
 
and a similar ewarn like above.  

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Nicolai Lissner 2003-10-11 21:20:10 UTC
thinking again about the problem - i found ewarn is not enough  - portage
would handle the package as installed - not a good idea. is there a way to
break out of an ebuild without blocking the installation of other ebuilds
while updating and without making portage think it merged the ebuild?

Add ACCEPT_LICENSES="RTCW-ETEULA" to the end of your /etc/make.conf and enjoy
non-interactive goodness.
