BUGS

No temporary files are used in the conversion process, just lots of memory. This capability was created as a testing tool of swpackage. It seems to convert without any error messages about 95% of binary RPMs and nearly 100% of source RPMs. The accuracy of the file or metadata after conversion has not been exhaustively confirmed.
