Identification: Implementation extension administration program of
swbis.
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.
