'p7zip' PETs

We have been discussing a problem with extracting Mandriva/Mageia RPMs:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201106/busybox-39rpm2cpio39-fails.html

Woof is now requiring the 'p7zip' package to be installed, to be able to extract Mageia RPMs.

I have created a 'p7zip' PET and uploaded it to the 'Puppy-common' repo (953K, 67K):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/p7zip-9.20.1-i486-w5.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/p7zip_DOC-9.20.1-i486-w5.pet

Note that the Busybox 'rpm' applet does seem to work with Mageia RPMs, so petget/PPM may not need to use rpm2cpio. 'rpm' does have a '-i' (install) option, which I have yet to test. I can't use that in '2createpackages' as the script has to extract the RPM into a temporary directory, not '/'.
I have so far confirmed that "busybox rpm -qpl" does list the contents, I will test installation next.

"ttuuxxx, I just looked at your 7Z PET, but it is only '7zr', which is the smallest version and does not handle Mandriva/Mageia RPMs. Note, the full 7Z handles RAR files also.
