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.
RPM is simply a cpio archive with some additional voodoo. You can use rpm2cpio, and then extract the cpio to your directory. There are a couple examples of doing this in the centos wiki in the tips and tricks section.
