Description : archive extractor with built-in support for multiple formats
The Unarchiver extracts archives in Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR,
7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other old and obscure formats.
In particular it supports extracting RAR v3 archive using a completely
free, LGPL'd implementation (while other archive managers usually rely
on the non-free library from the RAR authors).
It provides two commands:
* lsar to list an archive content
* unar to extract the archive
The webpage provide this set of instructions to build the package,
which works for me under Debian Squeeze:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgnustep-base-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libicu-dev
cd XADMaster
make -f Makefile.linux
I didn't try to build the GUI portion, which is aimed at OS X.
The package contains an unused copy of the proprietary unrar library
(in the BadLicense/ directory), which should be removed before
packaging. The free code is in XADMaster/XADRAR* .
