Avoid Unrar X: The Complexities of Creating a Correct RPM

When it comes to unrar x, many people wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. This is because third-party developers often lack the necessary expertise to create a correct RPM. While it may not be rocket science, there are numerous details that must be carefully considered.

For those looking to explore unrar x further, I recommend visiting Rar Labs and examining the source code for unrar. Be cautious, as the version may have changed since your last visit. Once you've downloaded the source files, you'll need g++ and make to build and install it. It's essential to do this for your account only.

To add the newly installed unrar x to your PATH, you'll need to modify the `$HOME/bin` directory. This will allow you to access unrar x with ease. However, keep in mind that unrar x is not open source.

As a result, unrar x will not be included in Fedora distributions. For those seeking an alternative solution, there are other options available.
