Greetings,

I'm searching for Fedora-compliant packages of rar and unrar. I know that
they can be found at Repoforge (http://repoforge.org/). However, they are
for CentOS and RHEL.


Are there any repos where rpm packages of rar/unrar that can be found and
useable on Fedora 17?

Much thanks.

unrar is available in rpmfusion-nonfree-updates. But no rar. Seems
either unfair or unsymmetrical.

bookmark http://rpm.pbone.net/

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17138115/dir/fedora_16/com/rar-3.9.3-4.fc16.x86_64.rpm.html
yes, it works for F17 too

CAUTION: do NOT enable atrpms repo completly
in my expierience he is overwriting fedora-packages
with partly incompatible versions because other
package-guidelines - it took me some hours
years ago to get a clean system again

Or even unusual.

Much thanks for all of the replies.

Hi,

It's unusual because rar and its file format are closed (maybe
patented). The vendor provides an open source unrar utility, and that's it.


There are MUCH BETTER options, like 7-zip.org (p7zip is part of Fedora
and is part of RHEL or can be added through EPEL, and is supported by
File-Roller and Nautilus). Better compression rate, speedier, all open
source. The windows GUI version is also much better than WinRAR.


So it's enough for me to have an unrar to open files in this format by
people who don't know there's better alternatives.

unrar has source available:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm

rar does not, it is commercial trial only:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

It is developers choice how to licenceoffer his software.
I may not agreelike, but a choice none the less.
