Re: rpm2cpio again . . . ximian artwork

[Rodd Clarkson <r-list clarkson id au>]

Matt,

I used the black arts. ;-]

Initially I just chmod 755 rpm2cpio but this didn't work.

What I finally did was download the src.rpm file, then:

rpm2cpio <file>.src.rpm > ximian-artwork-0.2.26.cpio
cpio o -i ximian-artwork-0.2.26.tar.gz < ximian-artwork-0.2.26.cpio

Having extracted the tar.gz file, I copied this to my GARCHIVEDIR and
then I moved the Makefile to Makefile.old and copied in another Makefile
(from another package) and then edited it accordingly.

make clean && make makesum && make install

and whallah!

I'm sure jdub can think of something a little neater ;-]
