extract pre and post scripts from the binary rpm

How can I exctract the %pre and %post script out of
the binary rpm ? rpm2cpio does not extract them.

Thanks
Yakov

I generally use 'mc' (the GNU Midnight Commander') to do this.

MC is basically a file manager. You just highlight the package in question,
hit <enter>, then select /INFO. Next select /SCRIPTS

And this is where the scripts are.

rpm -qp --scripts some_package.rpm >wherever

Replace '--scripts' with '--triggers' if you want the later.
