why this repo exists?

according to Igor Pavlov ( https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45798/thread/dc2d0438/#8f9f ):

fedora/centos have removed 7-zip's unrar code as non-free code. Maybe you can use p7zip compiled for another linux systems with 7-zip's unrar plugin: p7zip-full and p7zip-rar

RAR code is divided into two parts in p7zip:

1. free part of unrar (in p7zip-full)
2. non-free part of unrar (p7zip-rar)

But fedora have removed both parts of unrar code.

this repo is fork from https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/p7zip.git and added rar support back.
