tlug: rpm -> tar.gz

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

For those people who still rely on Slackware (and have access to
Red Hat or TurboLinux systems) you can grab the tar.gz file out
of an rpm with

rpm2cpio foo.src.rpm | cpio -id

(Just found this little nugget and wanted to put it in the TLUG
mail archive so I can find it later ;-)

Regards,

Jim S.
