Did you try the rpm2cpio
commmand? See the example below:
$ rpm2cpio php-5.1.4-1.esp1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
./etc/php.d
./etc/php.ini
./usr/bin/php
./usr/bin/php-cgi
etc

I have an rpm and I want to treat it like a tarball. I want to extract the contents into a directory so I can inspect the contents. I am familiar with the querying commands of an uninstalled package. I do not simply want a list of the contents of the rpm. i.e.
$ rpm -qpl foo.rpm
I want to inspect the contents of several files contained in the rpm. I do not want to install the rpm. I am also aware of the rpms ability to do additional modifictions in the %post sections, and how to check for those. i.e.
$ rpm -qp --scripts foo.rpm
However in this case that is of no concern to me.

其他提示
$ mkdir packagecontents; cd packagecontents
$ rpm2cpio ../foo.rpm | cpio -idmv
$ find .
For Reference: the cpio arguments are
-i = extract
-d = make directories
-m = preserve modification time
-v = verbose
I found the answer over here: lontar's answer
For those who do not have rpm2cpio, here is the ancient rpm2cpio.sh script that extracts the payload from a *.rpm package.
Reposted for posterity … and the next generation.
Invoke like this: ./rpm2cpio.sh .rpm | cpio -dimv
#!/bin/sh
pkg=$1
if [ "$pkg" = "" -o ! -e "$pkg" ]; then
echo "no package supplied" 1>&2
exit 1

Sometimes you can encounter an issue with intermediate RPM archive:
cpio: Malformed number
cpio: Malformed number
cpio: Malformed number
. . .
cpio: premature end of archive
That means it could be packed, these days it is LZMA2 compression as usual, by xz
:
rpm2cpio <file>.rpm | xz -d | cpio -idmv
otherwise you could try:
rpm2cpio <file>.rpm | lzma -d | cpio -idmv
Most distributions have installed the GUI app file-roller which unpacks tar, zip, rpm and many more.
file-roller --extract-here package.rpm
This will extract the contents in the current directory.
You can simply do tar -xvf <rpm file>
as well!
7-zip understands most kinds of archives, including rpm and the included cpio.
The powerful text-based file manager mc (Midnight Commander, vaguely reminding the Norton Commander of old DOS times) has the built-in capability of inspecting and unpacking .rpm and .rpms files, just "open" the .rpm(s) file within mc and select CONTENTS.cpio
: for an rpm you get access to the install tree, for an rpms you get access to the .spec file and all the source packages.
To debug / inspect your rpm I suggest to use redline which is a java program
Usage :
java -cp redline-1.2.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar org.redline_rpm.Scanner foo.rpm
In NixOS, there is rpmextract
. It is a wrapper around rpm2cpio, exactly as @Alan Evangelista wanted.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/tools/archivers/rpmextract
In OpenSuse at least, the unrpm
command comes with the build
package.
In a suitable directory (because this is an archive bomb):
unrpm file.rpm
Copy the .rpm file in a separate folder then run the following command $ yourfile.rpm | cpio -idmv
On Manjaro using KDE, Ark can handle it.
The "DECOMPRESSION" test fails on CygWin, one of the most potentiaally useful platforms for it, due to the "grep" check for "xz" being case sensitive. The result of the "COMPRESSION:" check is:
COMPRESSION='/dev/stdin: XZ compressed data'
Simply replacing 'grep -q' with 'grep -q -i' everywhere seems to resolve the issue well.
I've done a few updates, particularly adding some comments and using "case" instead of stacked "if" statements, and included that fix below
#!/bin/sh
#
# rpm2cpio.sh - extract 'cpio' contents of RPM
#
# Typical usage: rpm2cpio.sh rpmname | cpio -idmv
#
if [ "$# -ne 1" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 file.rpm" 1>&2
exit 1

simply run this:
$rpm -ivh package_name.rpm
if you don't have super user permissions, use sudo -i
command then execute this.
if you don't have rpm package, install rpm package.
If your system has rpm2archive
installed, you can run:
rpm2archive package.rpm
This converts rpm package into a compressed tar archive package.rpm.tgz
. Now you can extract it using:
tar -xvf package.rpm.tgz
This was earlier noted by Hi-Angel in his comment.
