Thanks, Festi. In fact, I use a java program which to create RPM package, which refer to an old RPM API (RPM 4.4.2).
I can use it to create a RPM package and use the standard RPM command to parser it, like rpm/rpm2cpio command. 
I meet the name length limit problem when create RPM package, then I try to set the name length to a larger one, it success. But it failed when I try to extract the package using standard rpm2cpio comand:
error: rpm2cpio: illegal signature type
error reading header from package
cpio: premature end of archive

Does the standard rpmbuild command with version 4.4.2 also have the name length limit? And how to solve the the backward compatibility on the latest rpm command?
