Greetings,
I'm searching for Fedora-compliant packages of rar and unrar. I know that they can be found at Repoforge (http://repoforge.org/). However, they are for CentOS and RHEL.
Are there any repos where rpm packages of rar/unrar that can be found and useable on Fedora 17?
Much thanks.

unrar is available in rpmfusion-nonfree-updates. But no rar. Seems either unfair or unsymmetrical.

bookmark http://rpm.pbone.net/
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17138115/dir/fedora_16/com/rar-3... yes, it works for F17 too
CAUTION: do NOT enable atrpms repo completly in my expierience he is overwriting fedora-packages with partly incompatible versions because other package-guidelines - it took me some hours years ago to get a clean system again

Or even unusual.
Much thanks for all of the replies.

Hi,
It's unusual because rar and its file format are closed (maybe patented). The vendor provides an open source unrar utility, and that's it.
There are MUCH BETTER options, like 7-zip.org (p7zip is part of Fedora and is part of RHEL or can be added through EPEL, and is supported by File-Roller and Nautilus). Better compression rate, speedier, all open source. The windows GUI version is also much better than WinRAR.
So it's enough for me to have an unrar to open files in this format by people who don't know there's better alternatives.

unrar has source available: http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm
rar does not, it is commercial trial only: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
It is developers choice how to licence\offer his software. I may not agree\like, but a choice none the less.
