Comment 3 Jeremy Faith 2022-06-28 23:23:27 UTC

I installed dar-2.7.6-2.el8.x86_64.rpm and still get
  dar -V|grep Remote
  output:
    Remote repository (libcurl)  : NO
It appears that compiling dar with remote repositories support requires not just libcurl(+probably libcurl-devel) but also libthreadar which is a separate package only used by dar and webdar.
see http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/from_sources.html 
libthreadar is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libthreadar/

Sorry I did not realize this when I added this feature request.
I don't know if it is worth the effort and the risk of breaking something by adding libthreadar although if added it would probably also provide support for 
  multi-thread compression/decompression 
  multi-thread ciphering/deciphering 

I would say probably best not to do this for a stable release, too risky.

Let me check libcurl-devel is available but we need package webdar and libthreadar.

Let me work in this... :-)
