Description Jared B. 2008-10-10 07:06:53 UTC

Please update app-arch/rar to the latest version, 3.8.0.  The final version was released on Sep. 30.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Jared B. 2008-10-17 06:13:33 UTC

Does "Default Assignee for Orphaned Packages <maintainer-needed@gentoo.org>" mean that this package has no maintainer?  Is there any reason the maintainer of this package should be different from the maintainer of the app-arch/unrar package, which does appear to get regular updates?

The update to rar-3.8.0 is literally just a version bump.  No ebuild changes are necessary.

Comment 2 drantin 2008-10-30 16:16:31 UTC

Although besides a version bump it would be nice if it installed the 64bit version on amd64 instead of requiring emul-libs...

ebuild for rar-3.8.0

Well, this worked for me, not 100% certain about the dependencies though, as I already had the stuff the previous version required... (rarlabs now provides a native x64 build, so emul-libs, etc shouldn't be needed anymore)

Apparently this bug was ignored completely when someone else filed a duplicate.
