I'm not sure if this really has to do with RPM, but I'll put it out
subject to correction:
Is there currently any way for the end user to get a summary of what
the install scripts of an RPM actually do?
For example, is there any way to know that the mysql-server package:
* installs the mysql server, all necessary files, and helper applications
* installs basic documentation
* setups basic configuration
* setups mysql server for manual startup
* needs to have mysql admin password setup manually
Nothing to wordy, but something that a user could choose to view post
install (or maybe even pre) so they have a better idea of what's going
on.
