Feature Request - Unrar
I was wondering if it may be beneficial to anyone else to have an unrar feature in this project? It only comes up because I wrote a comic book reader and couldn't get my head around the code involved in porting unrar from kthoom (https://code.google.com/archive/p/kthoom). Just a suggestion and I would benefit from having that in the package. Thanks for all the hard work and great effort here.
I've tackled RAR format for a while yesterday and it seems that there's several problems involving it implementation:
- There's at least 2 vastly different versions of RAR specification, essentially doubling the amount of code to simply read the archive.
- It's hard to find specification on that format in general.
- File may be separated into several volumes. (said
.partX.rar
) - Encryption.
- Several compressions algorithms. I think it's easier to make native bindings to unRAR library ;)
