unrar?

are there any rar archive tools in arch?
i know unrar exists in linux (http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/unrar.1.html), but i cant seem to find any rar tools in arch itself!!

Re: unrar?

[root@rotvogel ~]# pacman -Ql rar
rar /usr/
rar /usr/bin/
rar /usr/bin/rar
rar /usr/bin/unrar

There is a package rar in the arch -current tree. pacman -S rar will install it.

Re: unrar?

You have to pay for RAR.

which is why its available completely free via pacman, and its also the reason why it's free on windows too.

heh. It is a gem and perfectly preserved... I almost wish I could lock it and throw it into a Hall of Fame forum along with some others..
