RPM2ARCHIVE(8) System Manager's Manual RPM2ARCHIVE(8)
rpm2archive - Create tar archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM)
package.
rpm2archive [filename]
rpm2archive converts the .rpm files specified as arguments to gz
compressed tar files with suffix ".tgz".
If '-' is given as argument, an rpm stream is read from standard
in and written to standard out.
In opposite to rpm2cpio rpm2archive also works with RPM packages
containing files greater than 4GB which are not supported by
cpio. Unless rpm2cpio rpm2archive needs a working rpm
installation which limits its usefulness for some disaster
recovery scenarios.
rpm2archive glint-1.0-1.i386.rpm ; tar -xvz
glint-1.0-1.i386.rpm.tgz
cat glint-1.0-1.i386.rpm | rpm2archive - | tar -tvz
rpm2cpio(8) rpm(8)
