rpm2dotpup?

hehe...
I just released Dotpup-Wizard 02 ( http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2138#13158 )
It allows to add systemfiles to a dotpup, for example from /usr/lib.
Then I thought:
Why not simply "unrpm" fvwm2.5.11.rpm in FILESYSTEM?
Tried, built a popup, installed.
Exited Icewm, typed
xwin fvwm
Nothing.
So "xwin icewm", and in rxvt: "fvwm" (to see what errors it reports)
ah, I see, 2 libs are missing. Libpng2 and libstroke.
So add them to FILESYSTEM (grabbedthem from my Linux-Mandrake 9.2) and rebuild the dotpup.
Exit Icewm, "xwin fvwm"
Now it starts
Cool.
It just looks not perfect, I think because there is no fvwm2rc in /root/.fvwm
So I grab a configuration from http://fvwm.lair.be ,add it to FILESYSTEM, rebuild the pup - et voila: http://noforum.de/dotpups/fvwm2.5.11.jpg (Screenshot)
Not pefect, but astonishing for such a simple "rip".
The nice thing is: fvwm2 now can completely removed with PupGet!
If you want to try:
http://noforum.de/dotpups/fvwm2.5.11.pup
It is 5 MB and will need approx 10 MB extracted.
