[Bug 149236] Re: Make hellanzb provide unrar functionality by default

[Severin Heiniger]

I've sent the patch by karthik to the maintainer of the hellanzb package
along with other minor changes. While adding unrar to the dependencies
of hellanzb would probably be the wisest choice from a the user's point
of view, I support the decision of the maintainer to leave the
installation of unrar up to the user and therefore keeping the package
in main (or universe in Ubuntu). Someone who knows how to edit the
HellaNZB configuration file will most probably know how to install
unrar. And SKIP_UNRAR has been set to True for quite a long time anyway.

As for LottaNZB, we'll probably make sure that SKIP_UNRAR is
automatically set to False if unrar is installed and provide a useful
hint to the user if not. This will also close http://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523851 LottaNZB was suggested to be moved to
contrib.
