Description Anton Kochkov 2019-12-05 07:05:28 UTC
unar-1.10.6 was released some time ago and already presented in some distributions:

Comment 1 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2019-12-05 12:26:41 UTC
It seems this is nontrivial. Upstream moved development to github while the webpage still provides the old version for download.

The code has been split up into two (universal detector and xadmaster).

I originally was interested in this package because it was the only available free solution to unpack some archiving formats, including modern rar. However libarchive now supports those and I don't think there's that much need in this package any more. Do you have a need with unar that libarchive can't fulfil?
Comment 2 Anton Kochkov 2019-12-09 10:35:42 UTC
Well, there are some differences for the RAR archives handling, but so far it doesn't worth the effort if it is not trivial.
Comment 3 Robin Hallabro-Kokko 2020-01-07 12:15:20 UTC
I took inspiration from the SlackBuild at https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/unar/ and opened up a pull request on GitHub with a version bump.

The new ebuild also contains the bash completions and a dependency on media-sound/wavpack which seems to be required.
