Description : Archiver for the macOS eXtensible ARchive format
XAR (short for eXtensible ARchive format) is an open source file
archiver and the archiver’s file format. It was created within the
OpenDarwin project and is used in macOS for software installation routines.
This package can be used to unpack macOS .pkg files.
I intend to have the package team maintained, and will therefore create
a git repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xar.
Suggestions for a more specific team, or wishes to take over are welcome
(the package is outside of my own topic, but I need it).
The package was already in Debian until ~2010, when it was removed
because it was unmaintained. However it seems that it survived and is
under maintenance again.
Best regards
Ole
