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. |
