Hi there --
I am running a server with the 5.6 64-bit distribution, and I am looking for an unrar rpm package. I have several repositories set up on the server which are the following:
As was mentioned, rpmforge has it. For what it's worth, p7zip does the same thing and somewhat more quickly at least in my very rough benchmarks, e.g. time rar e something.rar vs 7z e something rar.
p7zip also has multi-thread support (multiple-CPU) and EXCELLENT compression algorithm. I use it to compress some backup and log files for StarOS wireless routers. Kernel logs are pulled every hour but contain a lot of redundant info (previous parts of the logs). In that environment, compression achieved is 10.000%, or 100 times smaller. 10MB is packed into 100KB.
