You can enter any program/command in the %pre and %post sections of the 
spec, including ones that ask for user input. These sections are 
essentially scripts that get executed before and after the files are 
installed, respectively. If the %pre script(let) exits with a "false" 
(non-0) status, the rpm won't actually be installed.
