Hi,
Last thread about unrar talks about unrar of rpmfusion , but to work correctly we should have unar (without one r) that is free .
repoquery unar -i URL : http://unarchiver.c3.cx/commandline Source : unar-1.8.1-5.fc21.src.rpm Description : The command-line utilities lsar and unar are capable of listing and extracting files respectively in several formats including RARv3. unar can serve as a free and open source replacement of unrar.
BTW ark from Fedora 21 just works with unar and shouldn't be a package require of ark ?
Thanks,

We currently opt *not* to add a hard Requires: unar since it has quite a large dependency footprint.

yes it has - even on systems already have rar/unrar installed the dependency is useless, the KDE context menu here offers compress to rar without any issue just because it is available as well i can unpack rar archives without unar
unar x86_64 1.8.1-5.fc21 fedora 2.0 M Als Abhängigkeiten installiert: gnustep-base-libs x86_64 1.24.7-1.fc21 fedora 1.7 M libobjc x86_64 4.9.2-6.fc21 updates 65 k

It's written in Objective C, and so it requires the Objective C runtime and an Objective C class library that comes from GNUstep. It's not that unreasonably large.
That said, I found out that libarchive has had builtin RAR (including the current RARv3 format) support for a while (using their own implementation that I hope is a proper cleanroom one and not derived from unrar source code; I think libarchive upstream seems to know what it's doing there), so it might also be possible to get Ark to just use the libarchive plugin to handle RAR files and not bother with an external unpacker at all.
