We finally have a free software tool to extract RARv3 archives on Linux. The news comes from a post on the Free Software Foundation (thanks to Peter Slavek who sent us the tip!) blog which presents a new tool that can extract archives in many different formats, including RARv3.
- Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change (spoof) Media Access Control (MAC) Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) instantly. It has a very simple user interface and provides ample information regarding each NIC in the machine. Every NIC has a MAC address hard coded in its circuit by the manufacturer.
- WinRAR 6.00 for Mac OS WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files. The Unarchiver for Mac 4.2.4.
The tool is called 'The Unarchiver' and it runs on Linux, Mac and Windows. However, it only comes with a GUI for Mac. For Linux, there are two command line tools: unar (for extracting) and lsar (for listing archive contents) which are currently in beta (but they work just fine, at least they did so in my test). The blog post also mentions that The Unarchiver comes with a license that makes its code easy to reuse so hopefully we will get RARv3 support in applications such as File Roller and Ark:
RAR Extractor - The Unarchiver Pro 6.2.5 macOS 8 mb WinRAR & Unzip & Open any file. RAR Extractor - The Unarchiver is a specialized application program which aims at Rar,Zip,Tar,7-zip,Gzip,Bzip2,XZ,Tar.gz,bz2,iso,pkg,swf,exe,jar,xip,dms. And dozens of other compressed files, you can use it to extract archive files conveniently, double click to decompress, fast and safely. Showing results for '7 zip 10.6.8' as the words for mac are considered too common The Unarchiver Free The Unarchiver is an application for Mac to manage your archive files. Nox on mac os mojave.
All of the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1, with the option to use later versions of the license, so it will be easy to reuse in other projects that want to include support for RARv3.
Install 'The Unarchiver'
A bug has been submitted for the inclusion of The Unarchiver in Ubuntu, but no action has been taken yet. However, Trisquel - a 'a fully free operating system based in GNU/Linux, for home users, small enterprises and educational centers' Linux distribution -, has packaged it so I've used the Trisquel debianization to create packages for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 so you can install it from the WebUpd8 PPA:
