Extract RPM package without installing it

Category: Linux / Unix

Suppose we want to extract and see the RPM content without installing it. This is how we can do it :-) It should work on any RPM based system like redhat, fedora, centos etc.

Example: To extract wget bundled with Fedora 9 

rpm2cpio wget-1.11.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv



Cheers,
