Back in January I wrote with Tomas the developer for tuxcmd. Back to
that, we talked about the licensing of tuxcmd-modules. He explained to
me, that he in Fedora also repackaged tuxcmd-modules to not ship the
unfree unrar. Also there were thougs to use the free unrarlib, but
however it strips some functionality. Tomas told me too, that he will
package the unrar module seperately next time, he release
tuxcmd-modules with updated version. I would go waiting for this new
release before building a third package containing the unrar module.

I hope there will be a new tuxcmd and tuxcmd-modules soon in the next
weeks. But I will further look at your proposal.

Kind regards
Salvatore
