Adding User License Agreement in Solaris package

Question

I have asked similar question for Linux RPM (Adding License Agreement in RPM package). Now i have same query for Solaris package. I could not get any helpful link / details

Answer 1

I have found a way to solve it.

The self-extracting binary is the way to do it.

Create a shell script which will first dipslay the end user license and take user input whether user agrees or not.

Once user agrees, extract the binary (solaris package file) embed in the shell script and install it.

To embed installer pacakge, first add a marker lets say PKG_DATA:

shell script contents
exit 0   
PKG_DATA   

Append the package file:
cat pkg_file_name >> your_shell_script

Extract the package and install it:

ARCHIVE=awk '/^__PKG_DATA__/ {print NR + 1; exit 0; }' $0   
outname=install.$$   
tail -n+$ARCHIVE $0 > $outname   

echo "Extracting..."   
pkgadd -d $outname   
rm -f $outname #we dont need it anymore   

exit 0   

PKG_DATA
