Hi,
Is there any 'explodepkg' equivalent for the rpm command? What I want is simply uncompress an RPM package to get the files directly, but I didn't find anything in rpm's manpage.
If you just want to peruse the rpm from the inside, use 'mc' (Midnight Commander) and it works like a charm. I don't know if it will uncompress them to the directory, as I've never had a need to do that, but check it out. Use F3 to look inside files you see listed. F3 again to back out. F10 quits. I like it. Ric
