I've had a look at Gnome's "Archive Manager" - it supports read-only access to RPM \
files. I personally find this useful as it allows me to examine source RPMs without \
needing to drop to the command line and create temporary files (by running "rpm2cpio \
blah.src.rpm | cpio -i").

One useful addition for consideration if this is implemented might be to add in some \
extra files to the view in order to expose any scripts contained in the RPM (i.e. \
what you get if you do "rpm -qp --scripts /path/to/rpm") - if these appeared in ark \
as "scripts/preinstall" etc. then that would be very cool.
