| 5 | The only uses I have seen for cpio are: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 1. Working with initramfs archives |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Genkernel already has the correct dep. Does dracut need it? |
| 10 | |
| 11 | 2. Extracting rpm files (rpm2cpio) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | rpm.eclass depends on rpm2targz, which depends on cpio, so this looks ok. |
