I recently discovered a great tool in Slackware - rpm2tgz - as the name suggests, converts an rpm to a good old tar.gz. I just love this tool.

As some of you may have already heard, my approach to package management is:

 * get the binary in
 * try to run it
 * fix problems if it does not work

So rpm2tgz is just a perfect tool for the job.
