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... :-) Regards!
