I found very strange edge-case with this dtrx - it hangs up if the archive you're trying to unpack contains two files with the same name. 7z/unzip that is run in the background waits with the question what to do and dtrx just hangs up not responding and not showing this question.

The maintainer of this dtrx is aware of the issue and there is an open PR with the fix, however if someone doesn't want to build the dtrx themself the old not-maintained-anymore package dtrx-python3-git can somewhat handle that edge-case (unpacks only one file with that name).

That issue broke the dtrx for me when I upgraded from old python2 version and thought that I would share if someone has the same issue as me.

Apologies for the late response; I've fixed the issue. Having taken the advice from more experienced AUR maintainers, I have opted to move the source over to a recent github commit, as the original source seems to have been taken down. I'll try to keep an eye on the original site; I'll re-update the link if it ever goes back up again.

@koyno You can use dtrx-git for a potentially more reliable upstream.

It looks like the broken link isn't any older than the git repo at https://github.com/brettcs/dtrx. I am currently (successfully) using a package based on the git repo, which should stick around for a while. I'll submit a new PKGBUILD later tonight.

Link is broken, can't download the package.

Taken up the responsibility of maintaining this package. An oddity exists where `rpm2cpio` supplied by the `rpm-org` AUR works fine for unpacking `.rpm` archives, but the `rpm2cpio` utility by the `rpmextract` from the `Extra` repository doesn't. Likewise, functionality to extract `arj` archives seems to not work either (even with the `arj` package installed). I'll be looking into patching this out in the near future.

Nothing newer I know of, and I havent used this is quite a while now. I've disowned this, although its not unusable in the least as is

timofonic commented on 2017-08-08 04:06 (UTC)

This is the most updated code. Is it newer than the tarball? https://github.com/brettcs/dtrx Any newer fork elsewhere?

kageurufu commented on 2015-02-13 01:19 (UTC)

I'll take over maintenance, I don't mind

Fryie commented on 2015-02-10 13:08 (UTC)

Updated the package, but disowned it, since I don't want to maintain it.
