Or you could use a tool like rpmdev-extract (from rpmdevtools) to unpack the srpm. Another possibility is to use Midnight Commander or the Gnome Archive Manager (file-roller) to unpack the srpm. If you're looking to do this for Fedora rpms, it may be even easier to use the CVS interface on the web to view the spec file. For example, to see the spec file for the F7 rpmdevtools package, go to: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/rpmdevtools/F-7/rpmdevtools.spec You can look at the rpmdev-extract script if you want to learn how to extract files from an rpm "by hand" -- it's just a shell script. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.
