My google-fu is failing me at the moment - can you point me to the project/RPM for this?
I have no idea if such thing exists, I was just rambling about what could be done in theory.. and yes I also wondered for a few minutes after writing the email about the practical use-cases.
Ah, I see - I thought you were saying this already existed. Would be cool if it did, that's for sure. :)
If you want to extract a single file from an rpm, that's easy: 'mc' :-)
Just browse to the rpm and hit "enter". You see the contents (there is one directory for the metainfo). One of the virtual files may be a cpio archive: "enter" on it opens that archive which contains the actual files of the rpm.
Is that what you want? :-)
Thanks - that's a trick I didn't know either. :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
