Unarchiver tool on Fdroid? (untar, unzip,..) (lemmy.ml)

Maybe my search-fu is abandoning me here but every once a while I need to unextract an archive, do you have recommendations ? Don't want to install stuff from Aurora just for this.

Your best bet on FOSS app is IrkFM on Izzy's repo.

For a closed source option, use RAR from Aurora from RARLAB (WinRAR company) and disable internet on it.

Another option, albeit closed source, is the built in archiver utility in MiXplorer on XDA.

Why advertise proprietary apps in a FOSS community? Especially when there are FOSS options available

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

I am not advertising, and my first suggestion is a FOSS app. I am simply telling about the best functional tools that OP can use without privacy concerns.

Except this isn't a privacy community, this is a FOSS community, and OP mentioned they wanted an app on F-Droid, not anything about privacy.

I believe the idea that "FOSS is only about privacy and nothing else, therefore proprietary apps with no network access are the same as FOSS apps" is absurd and harmful to the free software community, so I downvoted you based on that. Privacy is important but free software is much more than just privacy.

Fair enough, I probably should not have done that, but my concern was helping out OP. Never cared about internet points.
