Upgrade request bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rar/+bug/731066
RAR is not open source software, they offers binaries for i386 and amd64 on Linux. http://rarlabs.com/download.htm There is no reason shipping 4.0 beta3 rather than latest 4.20. The 4.0 beta3 has known Unicode filename bug, which is quite annoying for all people using non-ASCII filenames in archives. I've also confirmed 4.20 doesn't have Unicode filename bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rar/+bug/587980/comments/3 "unrar" package, which is based on non-freely open source code from RARLAB, is slightly newer and has no Unicode filename bug also. http://rarlabs.com/rar_add.htm => "UnRAR source" However, people doing apt-cache search or using File Roller's "Search Command" may not know the tricky relationship between these two packages and install "rar" package. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rar/+bug/587980/comments/4 I've made my branch or "rar" package: https://code.launchpad.net/~damage3025/ubuntu/quantal/rar/v420 I'm looking for reviewing and sponsorship. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
