Cross-platform unpacking of rar archive?

Is there are a cross-platform way to unpack rar archives in julia? I saw there is the unregistered LibArchive.jl, but I got build errors in julia 1.4.1. Is there an alternative?

EDIT: I found p7zip_jll in the meantime. Unfortunately it seems to only ship 7za (which doesn’t support rar).

What would you need to deal with RAR archives?

7z.

Well, that’s a different software which runs only on Windows as far as I know

Hm, maybe the link is misleading. On arch linux, the package p7zip installs both 7z and 7za as command line tools.

LibArchive.jl fully works on 1.4 and master and supports rar. However, I’m too lazy to write the support for the new binary download infrastructure since I always use system libraries.
