# Archive manager: Compress and decompress

# https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/311240
# The package definition for `kdePackages.ark` does not specify the extra tools that can be used by Ark. The older definition `libsForQt5.ark` contains extra tools such as unar to handle extra types of archives.
#
# Solution: To extract `.rar` files, we manually override some of the attributes based on how it is done in the old file of `libsForQt5.ark`.
