So apparently you don't need #UnRAR to extract #rar files because there are two #OpenSource projects that were made without proprietary bits.

1.) unrar-free is a maintained version of unrar-free from the Gna! CVS archive. It seems to only be able to do non-split rars but it should work.

2.) #unar is the command for extracting archives via #unarchiver. It works perfectly, the only thing is it uses different syntax than unrar so it is not a replacement via alias. (you can use the python wrapper I found to use it as a drop-in replacement.)

I used the wrapper to be a drop-in replacement and #patool found it and worked perfectly. (BTW patool is fucking amazing please use)

This is the unrar project exported from the Gna! CVS archive and ported to libarchive. The project is named unrar-free to distinguish it from the original, proprietary unrar.

After some researchs, I found we can't have a free #unrar application. Because utility for rar archives aren't free software and according to its license we can't recreate the RAR compression algorithm based on its code. Even p7zip-rar is non-free.
I don't know how we have some packages like unrar-free or unar in #debian repository. Maybe I misunderstood this licensing problem!

Tout est sur Google play... Et je n'ai pas de compte sur mon ordiphone 😑
Finalement j'ai copié sur la carte SD et pluggé ça sur mon laptop

Je trouve ça un peu con que les gestionnaires de fichiers sous Android ne prennent pas en compte la majorité des formats de compression 🙄

Salut Mastodon !
Existe t il une application sous Android qui permet d'extraire les fichiers RAR ?
Et de préférence libre 😉

unar - Ett friare alternativ till unrar – Hund – Linux, textfiler & minimalism

Vissa envisas fortfarande med att använda det proprietära arkivformatet RAR. Om man behöver packa upp ett sådant arkiv finns det ett friare alternativ för det vid namn unar, vilket finns under licensen GNU LGPL.
