Converted binary packages can then -be installed/removed using the 'installpkg/removepkg' commands, or 'pkgtool'. - -It's advisable to at least examine the converted package with 'less' to make -sure it won't do anything too crazy to your system. - -By default, rpm2targz will attempt to use "file" to detect source RPMS, and will -put the contents into a subdirectory in the resulting package. This may not be -portable to other operating systems -- if you're trying to run rpm2targz on an -OS that doesn't have a file that knows RPM types, and you care about this source -RPM feature, you can compile and install David Cantrell's standalone getrpmtype -utility. The getrpmtype.tar.gz source archive can be found in Slackware's -source tree in source/a/bin/. - |
