Hey, I am a student at Northern Kentucky University and I wanted to use your script on a web crawler program for my research. I wanted to get your approval before using the script as it may be distributed later in the future. I will of course give you full credit for the use of your script. If you can send me an e-mail letting me know, that would be much appreciated! By the way, the script is very useful!

Hi Michael, thanks! I have updated the tool with your suggestion and made a new release. Now also with a nanozip extraction.

Awesome tool!
I have made one adjustment for extracting RPM files.

I added the -m option to preserve the original ‘pack’ – date

rules.push [ :type, /^RPM/, "rpm2cpio < %FILE% | cpio -i -m -d --verbose" ]

THANKS for sharing this powerful utility

Hi Erwin, install ruby with “sudo apt-get install ruby” if you have not done this already.

One problem, just installed Intrepid Ibex (ubuntu 8.10)
After copying the exact code for the teriminal, you are asked if you want to continue y/n. If I say Y, it says abort. and doesn’t do anything afterwards.

Hi Michael, sorry but I have no idea. Try googling for this error message, maybe you find the solution. This has nothing to do with e, this seems to be a problem of arc.

Hey Martin,
I’m using Ubuntu 8.10 and followed your installation commands. I keep getting an error when trying to extract an arc archive.
Error is “arc: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”.
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks
