RPM is known primarily as the Red Hat Package Manager and it refers to file extensions such as the .rpm file formats. A baseline package format for the Linux Standard Base, RPM is referred to as the RPM Package Manager and "packages" an arbitrary set of files. It can further contain "binary RPMs" and "source RPMs." Source RPMs contain the source code for producing software packages whereas binary RPMs contain the compiled version of software programs. The benefits of using the RPM Package manager is that it simplifies software installation and maintenance processes, and makes software packages more portable, upgradable, installable and distributable since it "packages" the files in the same location.
The .tar filename was originally designed to be used as a TApe ARchiver to store entire file systems and files as single files on tape storage medium. It was designed by AT&T in 1979. Today, the format more commonly refers to an archive or collation of multiple files into a single file with the .tar filename extension. The format is an open source file archive format commonly associated with the UNIX tar command however other data compression tools are capable of effectively compressing and/or decompressing files saved with the .tar file format. Doing so typically adds the compression filename extension to the archive file for example .tar.bz2.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for RPM to TAR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload RPM files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TAR results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent TAR audio with dependable progress tracking.
RPM Package Manager is primarily designed for use by the RedHat edition of the Linux Operating System. RPM is used for installing software in the Linux Operating System and distributing it. It can be used to store software installation packages in the Linux Operating System. Berkeley DB is considered to be RPM's backend and consists of a single database of "packages" which contains all RPM-related metadata information. These databases can be used to speed up queries by replicating data and for indexing purposes. RPM enables automatic build-time dependency evaluation and the RPM version of patch files (Patch RPMs and Delta RPMs) features incremental updating of RPM-installed software.
The tar format is a popular means of digital distribution of multiple files over the internet. It should not be confused with compression/decompression format as tar is merely a tool to collate multiple files together. Combined with other compression tools and formats such as bzip2 or gzip, a tar file can then be compressed or decompressed as needed.
Upload your archive file in the RPM format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TAR as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted archive file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
