Unfortunately, the .rpm format requires support for the SVR4 new-CRC cpio format, which only the gnu-cpio program supports. For various reasons, I'm sticking with the 'pax' program for both cpio and tar support. I do have it on my list to add support for SVR4-CRC format to pax, after which it will be easy to make a kludged un-rpm utility. If you want, you can always put gnu-cpio and some rpm utility on there using the customization process. -Tom
