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.
Since I hate the cpio tool, I always use mc (midnight commander) and go inside of the RPM files to copy something out.
If you just want to see what is inside the RPMs, adding a -v to the query shows you the output as if it was a directory-listing:
rpm -qplv <rpm packages>
Kind regards,
