Hello:
I am trying to track down what I think is a bug in the login
program and I want to look at the source. I have determined that
/bin/login is provided by util-linux-XXXXXXXXXXX. So I have found the CD
that contains util-linux-XXXXXXXX.src.rpm, but I don't know the exact
options to rpm to see what's in the rpm file and to extract the files I
want to look at. I would rather extract the file relative to some
directory I am in, not to /usr/src/redhat/*.
I have read the man page on rpm and tried a few things, but do
not seem to be able to do what I want.
So can some one provide me with the proper options to use?
In addition to the other two suggestions, you could also use rpm2cpio.
Not a program I use a lot, but the man page should give you adequate
guidance.
