All,
A cpio mode has been in the emacs TODO file for as long as I've looked there.
I'd like to write that. Is there really still interest?
Thanks.

It'd fit very nicely in GNU ELPA, I think, yes.  Of course, the fact
that noone wrote one up might indicate that the demand is not very high,
but I for one would enjoy easier access to the initramfs files, for example.

PS: For what it's worth, here's my earlier attempt at such a thing.
Obviously I stopped before getting to the meat of it.
PPS: Also, there are various possible options in terms of UI: you could
integrate cpio support into arc-mode.el, or you could "do it by hand"
along the lines of tar-mode.el, or you make a magic file-name handler
(and rely on dired for the UI).

I just now wanted to open an rpm file like I would a tar file.  I
understand rpm files are mostly compressed cpio files.

So, +1 on cpio-mode.
