Since we already have unrar which is almost free software (weird license) and
which does the most important thing: unpacking rar files, I'm not in favor of
importing this just for the sake of having it, so unless someone really wants
to I think we should drop this. Having this only serves to promote creating rar
files, which is not something we want to do IMHO. I know this is rpmfusion ont
Fedora, still there is nothing wrong with promoting openness here :)
Just to be sure we are all in line: We don't differentiate the different
levels of "non-free" in the nonfree repo, hence shareware like rar in
generals is something we would accept there, correct?
But sure, if no one wants to maintain the rar package then let's just
drop it. :-)
