Note that based on the discussion in the other thread I mentioned, if you use the 2nd approach I suggested in post #2, you may need to create the output file before you start the find to keep find from failing because the directory hierarchy is changing while it is reading it. In other words:

rpm2cpio
rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
