yum install yum-utils
repoquery -l proftpd

Be aware that repoquery can sometimes take a little while to run.

Here's a hack that will download a file from the repository, unpack it
into a temporary directory and drop you into a shell to look around.
Exit the shell and it will clean up.  It's a hack: no security, no
error checking.  Have fun.

# Should only be one file in this directory

rpm2cpio $PKG* | cpio --quiet --no-absolute-filenames -idmv 2>&1
