unrpm for Slackware
If someone wants a package that can unrpm rpm's then you want:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/package/unrpm-1.bin.elf.tgz
or
http://ftp.wustl.edu/systems/linux/sunsite/utils/package/unrpm-1.bin.elf.tgz
Size: ~57k.
These packages are required to get at rpm packages from a SLS system.
They do not install, only unpack the rpms. After that they can be
manipulated with usual kosher Linux tools (tar, gzip, gcc ...).
I post this here because it was not trivial to find them. Every document
I have seen locates the package in .../pub/Linux/utils/compress and they
are not there. Please update any references you may have of this.
