If anyone is interested in maintaining a package outside of Guix, Debian has written some patches for the recently discovered bugs, distributed in their package version 1:0.0.1+cvs20140707-4: https://packages.debian.org/sid/unrar-free http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/unrar-free/unrar-free_0.0.1+cvs20= 140707-4.debian.tar.xz I thought about taking these patches, but the bug reporter said it took them only "a few minutes" to find these bugs, so I'm not optimistic about the state of this program, at least if it is not maintained upstream. --bGR76rFJjkSxVeRa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAloIuyIACgkQJkb6MLrK fwjnaw/8DxrNxZoQkK8gD3HsMjRMjzaYK2OoITixy8VD0g9NMHZRGzdynASllB/C GLfdkTTHl4BJP8FRXZ6uVgodobllj70MrbL+Z3mjvVpvA/HxzBVJYXm7pp1lJKIc Wu0/9fghcoKb+iy4PIJhLrzMkiDqkcLV0ZtCu6i9Y7yD6Qiyz5zmuXQWcy/Ick6C 7O4H/E2/+M1vi4Vsv0FNilj8mQaEyXc3NnXsfTyjHKO0lTIrcQYVvqKRGJtKV/d4 FHXyce6n7XsRa3iUtSPjEbrskMZSd1HxjGsSru1tXugHxLs1oUfcIhj9GSvS5NDW bmVqTsxnOhcpFOFnLEvUBZIJApBMX4sCBnCSDnkAfZ59MCNckmpeaYipAAyYEIN2 JzVk4ne0YWkYoW2Rv2rOBywoG5be8JizWDxSMv4LtJhL3kDWH5ODZPpLfiIjl+/M scUnw7kDM66aDwqxOmvBfvPfRoaLEmUsGgPp2LqrTKnQP7pVeHZ4ho0LRh1UbIh2 AjI7NU+GDdpSdCriiRUSieWjtKypNuC3sCR8it7zmwoTTfRbFPxgAHb2N09kFEGf zCiZV/8NCe4Pmn233NE6i9aP5AF1gjbluhx78LfJO1vbAS3syIWsfYqxm4uCBoAT o/oAjLXVwx9cwYRn7te0iCR0VSBpawixLsomm7Lc3OGry46ROE0= =6izS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bGR76rFJjkSxVeRa--
