What It Is

Rpm2tar is a utility for converting the files contained in a binary RPM package into a gzipped tar archive. Rpm2tar attempts to preserve file ownership, groups, and permissions as they are stored in the RPM package.

What It Needs

Rpm2tar requires rpm-devel-3.0.5 in order to build. Because rpm2tar links statically by default, it is not necessary for a particular version of rpm to be installed in order to run rpm2tar.

See the README for further requirements.

Where To Get It

The current version is 1.0.0, dated 2000-Nov-27.
