Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the

6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

.TH EXPLODEPKG 8 "21 May 1994" "Slackware Version 2.0.0"
.SH NAME
explodepkg \- Extract the contents of a tar+compression package (such as a Slackware
software package) in the current directory.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B explodepkg
.BI package
.BI [
.BI package2,
.BI package3,
.BI ...
.BI ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B explodepkg
uncompresses and untars Slackware *.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz) packages (or any archive
that was created by
compressing a tarfile with one of the supported compression utilities) in the current directory. It is not usually
used to install packages, since it doesn't execute the installation scripts
in ./install or ./var/log/setup. The primary use for
.B explodepkg
is in package maintenance - exploding a package in a subdirectory, making fixes
to it or upgrading the software, and then building the updated package with
.B makepkg.
