RPM package to allow different sets of files to be installed

Question

I would like to build an RPM that allows the installer to select which components of the software are installed.

More specifically we have 5 EAR files that are in the RPM I would like to let the installer specify an option when installing to select which EAR to install or to install all.

Is this possible with RPM?

Thanks.

Nope. There should be no user interaction upon RPM installation, ever.

You would have to make each its own rpm. You can have an empty rpm that Requires all of them to make a bundle, or you could make them a yum group.
