Hi,

rar isn't in contrib and won't be included. It's a commercial
application, not open source. But you can download a version for x86
linux at their home page and a version of unrar from the plf site:
http://plf.zarb.org/rpm2html/cooker/i586/unrar-3.0-1plf.i586.html

With that program you can at least uncompress rar archives. But
beware, that application isn't open source either, even if you can get
the source code.
