Unpacking the mvista kernel RPMs

[Jason Wohlgemuth]

Graham,

If you just want to get the files out try this:

work within a temp directory

rpm2cpio < kernel.rpm > kernel.cpio
cpio --make-directories --extract --verbose < kernel.cpio

Enjoy,

Jason

How does one go about unpacking one of these RPMs?

I tried ftp'ing the rpm and going:
% rpm -i hhl-kernel-2.2.13-7.src.rpm
% rpm -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/hhl-kernel-2.2.13.spec
...
cp: configs/%{_hhl_kernel_configs}: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.689 (%prep)

Can anyone please help me get the hang of RPM?  I'm sure it's _supposed_ to
make my life easier, but...

Thanks,
Graham
