rpm2tgz vs rpm
by M0M0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58025)
Hi,
I'm reading this fantastic forum for quite some time and finally decided to join the community since I was not able to find an answer to this question:
from time to time it happens that I need to install a package that is only available as a rpm package. This leaves me with two options:
# rpm --nodeps -i package.rpm
and
# rpm2tgz package.rpm && installpkg package.tgz
Which method should be preferred?
