I'm dropping app-arch/unar, since it was the only ObjC package on my
system. These days, libarchive is IMO a much better choice.

All bugs have been fixed. The upstream isn't gone, but somewhat
unresponsive.

Hi,

I'm no longer interested in maintaining app-arch/unar.

It's an archive unpacker written in objective C, which makes it
dependency-heavy (particularly requires gcc compiled with objc).
I originally got interested because it was the only free unpacker
capable of handling modern rar archives. However libarchive does that
these days, so I don't see a strong need for unar any more.

There's a bump request, but upstream changed the code structure and
separated out a library, so it's not completely straightforward:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/702024

If you're interested please add yourself to metadata.xml and remove me,
if noone picks it up I'll make it maintainer-needed in a few days.
