Officially no. But also on my ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber page is
rpms for the rar-3.00 file archiving/unarchiving program. This is
distributed as a binary tarball only, and I repackaged it based
originally on an earlier version of rar I found on the net, just for
practice. It also makes use of subpackages, and I was both proud of
myself for getting it to work, and sickened that I repackaged
binary-only crap. Enjoy.

advice on 7.3.92 to 7.3.93, and Apt compiling
From rpm-list-admin@freshrpms.net  Fri Aug 16 11:25:58 2002

Any sage advice on the most painless way to upgrade from old limbo (.92) to new
limbo (.93)?
Apt for rpm from the 7.3 days barely works on Limbo1, and the package:
apt-0.5.4cnc6-dwd2.src.rpm will not compile on the Libbo1 box (I was going to use
that to dist-upgrade to Limbo2).
Compile gave error on file "genpkglist.cc". First, it included "rpm/header.h" ok,
but 2 other includes from that file (rpmio.h, hdrinline.h) could not be found. So I
further patched the enviorment file to have "-I/usr/include/rpm".
I guess that worked, but then I get this error (see below).
Ohh... the pain. Any advice?

That's "angle" as in geometry.
