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 .gz filename extension refers to the GZIP file format and compression/decompression utility of the same name which was initially released in 1992. It is the extension given to files compressed using the gzip utility. Unlike other compression tools of the time, gzip was originally intended to be used as a tool to compress a single file as opposed to multiple files or entire directories compressed as a single archive. As a work around, multiple files can be archived using the TAR archive file format, then that single TAR archive would then be compressed using the GZIP format. This would give the file a filename extension of .tar.gz.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for RPM to TGZ 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 TGZ 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 TGZ 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 GZIP format uses the DEFLATE algorithm for compression. A file in this format consists of a 10 byte header containing the version number, timestamp, and magic number. Other blocks include optional extra header blocks, the DEFLATE payload, and a CRC-32 checksum contained in an 8 byte footer.
Upload your archive file in the RPM format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select TGZ 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.
