Hi
Is it possible to take an rpm apart to see what it will do to a system and see what files are inside the package?
"man rpm".
"rpm -qpl file.rpm" shows a list of files.
"rpm -qp --scripts file.rpm" shows which scripts are run after or before installation, deinstallation, or upgrade.
"rpm2cpio file.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories" will unpack the rpm to the directory you are momentarily in.
And - as already said - "man rpm".
Regards,
Ralph
