Re: CPIO archives

Yup, bzip2 is supported by rpm :

rpmio/rpmmacro.h:
typedef enum rpmCompressedMagic_e {
     COMPRESSED_NOT		= 0,	/*!< not compressed */
     COMPRESSED_OTHER		= 1,	/*!< gzip can handle */
     COMPRESSED_BZIP2		= 2,	/*!< bzip2 can handle */
     COMPRESSED_ZIP		= 3	/*!< unzip can handle */
} rpmCompressedMagic;

They are doing a lot of work recently. Also OpenPKG is using rpm
and they made some progress. It's hard to keep in touch.
