Topic: RPM package editor

[DavidG]

Is there a tool/app for working with RPM packages? I would like to be able to work with files contained in an RPM in a way similar to using "WinISO" to work with .iso images.

Midnight Commander (mc) is installed by default, and allows access to files contained within RPM archives, as well as lots of other wonderful things. You need to look inside CONTENTS.cpio which is contained within the RPM.

Be careful when poking around in there.
