You could use 'tar Ixvf filename', you need to have bzip2 installed for
it to succeed. Alternatively you might want to get the src.rpms, and
install these with 'rpm -ihv'. This will extract sourcefiles and
specfiles into the appropriate location for your machine (probably
/usr/src/redhat/{SPECS|SOURCES}). You should then be able to make any
needed changes to midgard.spec and rebuild the packages with 'rpm -ba
midgard.spec'. You then still have the advantage of RPM keeping track of
installed files.
