Description:   Opened: 2005-04-18 07:51 0000 
File-roller 2.10.x does not handle .rar archives by default,
even though unrar x archive.rar works just fine. After emerging
rar 3.4.0 everything is ok.
Latest file-roller ebuilds should have rar as a dependancy 
(probably optional, maybe a IUSE flag?) or apply a patch,
that wolud enable using unrar as a backend for unpacking .rar
files.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge file-roller, while having rar not intalled
2. you may have unrar installed and working
3. try to unpack .rar archive with file-roller

Actual Results:  
failure, file-roller cannot unpack the archive

Expected Results:  
file-roller should use unrar as a backend, or - if not possible - 
have rar as a (optional) dependancy

Correct, and the same applies to arj. Should we be including these as deps? or
offering local use flags?

According to that, it should be possible to use unrar, unzip etc. With file-roller-2.10.2 I have no success. Could it be fixed in CVS after 2.10.2? maybe we should rather just backport the fix to a revision in gentoo's ebuild?

------- Comment #3 From Gad Kadosh 2005-04-19 04:49:51 0000 ------- 
indeed it was fixed just after 2.10.2 in CVS. I think it would be good to have
a revision fix for that bug though.
Otherwise, it's true that file-roller currently doesn't depend on any of the
command line archive utils. Could be worth checking into that. One reason is
that each utility is optional, but a USE flag for everyone would be too much
IMO.

I thought it was time to get gnome-2.10 unmasked so I try to give a hand.
