It worked for me with an RPM of mine: [peters@allspice]% rpm -q rpm cpio rpm-4.0.4-7x cpio-2.4.2-23 [peters@allspice]% rpm2cpio ~/rpms/RPMS/noarch/rs-1.10-01.noarch.rpm | cpio -iv ./usr ./usr/bin ./usr/bin/rs ./usr/share ./usr/share/doc ./usr/share/doc/rs-1.10-01 ./usr/share/doc/rs-1.10-01/COPYING ./usr/share/man ./usr/share/man/man1 ./usr/share/man/man1/rs.1 200 blocks Also worked on risotto which has [peters@allspice]% ssh risotto rpm -q rpm cpio rpm-4.0.4-7x.18 cpio-2.4.2-26 Now let me try the RPM you mentioned [peters@allspice]% rpm2cpio ~development/rpms/RPMS/noarch/e-smith-base-4.13.1-26.noarch.rpm | cpio -iv cpio: ./etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns: No such file or directory cpio: ./etc/diald: No such file or directory ... rpm -qlvp ~development/rpms/RPMS/noarch/e-smith-base-4.13.1-26.noarch.rpm | grep /etc/cron.weekly -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 58 Feb 15 2002 /etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns rpm -qlvp ~/rpms/RPMS/noarch/rs-1.10-01.noarch.rpm | grep /usr drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54765 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/bin/rs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/doc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/doc/rs-1.10-01 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18007 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/doc/rs-1.10-01/COPYING drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/man drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/man/man1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28132 Jan 20 17:52 /usr/share/man/man1/rs.1 The difference is that my RPM includes all the directories whereas the e-smith-base RPM does not. Bottom line, use the -d option to cpio. -- Regards Peter ---------- Peter Samuel, Senior Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.org (development) http://www.mitel.com (corporate) Phone: +1 613 592 2122 Fax: +1 613 592 1175 Mitel Networks, 350 Legget Dr, Ottawa, ON K2K 2W7 Canada "If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left" -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
