FreeBSD archivers : rpm2cpio

Convert .rpm files for extraction with /usr/bin/cpio, needs just perl

 Convert .rpm files for extraction with /usr/bin/cpio

Quoting the author:

why does the world need another rpm2cpio?  because the existing one
won't build unless you have half a ton of things that aren't really
required for it, since it uses the same library used to extract RPM's.
in particular, it won't build on the HPsUX box i'm on.

(this one needs just perl)

Updated version by Sergey Babkin that doesn't slurp the entire file
into memory and supports the newer bzip2 compressed rpms.

BUGS: if the rpm contains more than one cpio file this version
extracts only the first one. (I don't know how widespread these
types of rpms are, i haven't yet seen one.  If you do, try the
binary rpm2cpio that comes with the archivers/rpm port.)

Now called rpm2cpio.pl so that it doesn't conflict with the binary one.

Replaces existing code with a version that doesn't slurp the entire file
into memory and supports the newer bzip2 compressed rpms.  Also, call it
rpm2cpio.pl so that it doesn't conflict with the binary version from
archivers/rpm.

Previous commit should have indicated that although a cursory visual exam
showed no major changes to the file, a diff showed that the one real
change was to add clarity to an example in the help.

v. 1.6
date: 2001/03/20 20:28:12;  author: obrien;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
`rpm' and `rpm2cpio' have been repocopied from "misc" to "archivers".

v. 1.5
date: 2001/03/10 04:52:27;  author: kris;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
Author released a new version which handles version 4 RPMs also.  Since
the distfile doesn't carry a version, arbitrarily call it version 1.1

Import of rpm2cpio (perl version).  Converts .rpm files for extraction
with /usr/bin/cpio.  Created so there would be a lightweight version
that didn't require a tonne of other requirements.
