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.
