I'd also like to see unrar and unrar-free using alternatives. But for that to happen do they need to be suitable drop-in replacements for each other?
I found this in the unrar-free(1) manpage, ======================================================================== NON-FREE UNRAR COMPATIBLE SYNOPSIS unrar-free [elvx] [-ep] [-o+] [-o-] [-ppassword] [-u] [--] ARCHIVE [FILE ...] [DESTINATION] This syntax should only be used in front-end programs which are using non-free unrar as a back-end. It is recommended to use this program by GNU command line syntax. ======================================================================== So if you use it as you might expect to use the non-free unrar, is it just going to pass things through to the non-free unrar (assuming it's installed)? Has the non-free upstream been asked if they are willing to fix things to be able to meet the DFSG/OSD? Has the free upstream been asked if they would be willing to make the tool a good replacement for the non-free version rather than passing that stuff through?
