   Please, test new version of xarchiver. Download right now from cooker: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?download=xarchiver-0.5.3.tazpkg (it will reach regular repository only on next sync, maybe tomorrow or so).

   Added new configuration page to xarchiver. You can display it using xarchiver's menu → Help → Contents, or just pressing F1 on your keyboard.

   Really xarchiver is a wrapper. And it can support many archive formats. But it can support, let's say, rar archive format, only if you install rar package. And here you can install (and remove) a supplementary packages for archive formats you want.

   When you press “Install” (or “Remove”) button first time you'll be prompted for Username and Password. Don't be afraid :-) Here invisible TazPanel installs and removes packages for you.

   Please check general work.
   And please proofread text, because my English is far from good. Maybe you can write more clear?
   Or you can provide more elegant solution?
   Please don't hesitate! Write me pair of lines here.

   Busybox also contains ar and xz, but no links for it as I saw in tinycore-v3.x
   e.g. busybox ar vx (or -vx?) *.deb

   interestingly, old version desc contains "for thunar" and I thought it depends on all of xfce.
   pcmanfm 0.5 had hardcoded buitin unpacking, but current v1.2, depends on xarchiver if modify default settings.
   Any chances for add it to gtkonly or core? To save space, we have now exactly same 100K of python scripts in gobject package, but no interpreter.

   My SliTaz's Busybox contains ar but not xz. Just type busybox without options to see list of currently defined functions (applets). Analizing this list I've found that 3 of 296 applets have no symlinks: ar, bbconfig and linuxrc. And I think only ar needs its symlink.
   

   tux@slitaz:~$ busybox ar --help
   
   Command line: busybox ar --help 
   
   BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-05-11 00:24:29 CEST) multi-call binary.
   
   Usage: ar [-o] [-v] [-p] [-t] [-x] ARCHIVE FILES
   
   Extract or list FILES from an ar archive
   
   	-o	Preserve original dates
   	-p	Extract to stdout
   	-t	List
   	-x	Extract
   	-v	Verbose
   
   tux@slitaz:~$ busybox bbconfig --help
   
   Command line: busybox bbconfig --help 
   
   BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-05-11 00:24:29 CEST) multi-call binary.
   
   Usage: bbconfig 
   
   Print the config file used by busybox build
   
   tux@slitaz:~$ busybox bbconfig | grep XZ
   CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_XZ=y
   CONFIG_UNXZ=y
   # CONFIG_XZ is not set

   CONFIG_XZ only implements an alias to unxz with xz -d. More confusing than useful.

   /home/slitaz/wok/busybox/source/busybox-1.22.0/archival/Config.in:

   config XZ
           bool "Provide xz alias which supports only unpacking"
           default y
           depends on UNXZ
           help
             Enable this option if you want commands like "xz -d" to work.
             IOW: you'll get xz applet, but it will always require -d option.
