JawnSmithIs any core dev available to restart the failed python3-pynvim autopkgtests that are blocking python3-defaults? I believe the new version of python-msgpack resolves the issue.17:43

tewarddoko: you TIL for `rar`, is that synced to Multiverse from debian, or is that handled by Ubuntu?  Asking because it looks odd that `rar` only is on i386 and amd64, and not the ports (RPi, etc.) while `unrar` is fully available on the arm archs.21:38
tewardwas wondering if you knew anything about that21:38
teward(was digging into an Lubuntu issue when I discovered this)21:38
cjwatsonteward: easy to check, compare with https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rar21:46
cjwatsonteward: https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/r/rar/control-2%3A5.5.0-1 has the arch limitation too21:46
cjwatsonlooks just not super well-maintained21:46
tewardhmm makes sense.  seems like there's something going awry there though, with it not being maintained.  I'm assuming it's closed source proprietary if it's in Multiverse.)21:47
cjwatsonteward: however from the "source code" it's clear enough why it's only available on a couple of arches: https://sources.debian.org/src/rar/2:5.5.0-1/21:47
tewardpfft21:47
tewardfigures it ships the prebuilts21:48
tewardthis explains a lot21:48
teward*makes notes on this limitation for things*21:48
tewardif i had any knowledge of the internals on creating RAR files I'd consider creating some other `rar` tool but I don't have the knowledge, and ERR:TOOBUSY21:48
cjwatsonthere's no sign that source exists publicly here.21:49
tewardyeah the license files explain it too21:50
tewardTL;DR it's WinRAR's rar but built for linux.21:50
cjwatsonand I don't know how much to believe https://peazip.github.io/free-rar-create.html (which was just the first hit on some search terms) but it suggests that no free reimplementation can legally exist21:50
tewardat least, if i'm understanding the license on there right.21:50
cjwatsonwhich I think means nobody should morally support this format.21:51
teward*rolls eyes* I don't disagree21:51
teward... there's no way we can `rm -rf` the `rar` non-free utility from Ubuntu without everyone being supremely mad at us is there?  (since 'unrar' is made under a similar license on the 'no reverse engineering')21:52
teward(i can see keeping unrar, but i'd love to take the proverbial nuke to the `rar` binaries themselves.21:52
cjwatsonI don't know.  it's probably no worse than a bunch of other stuff in multiverse.21:53
tewardwell when amd64 eventually dies in a decade or more, RAR will die anyways :P21:54
teward*shrugs*21:54
