.rpm files

Hello All,

I have a vague memory of a program that would convert .rpm files to
tarballs, but of course you lose all the dependency information.  I never
tried it myself -- I find that I have to install most things from source.

Maybe you're looking for alien. It's in the debian distribution;
I don't know about others.

Regards,
ST
