Old ACE 1.x unpacker is opensource. Newer ACE is freeware. ACE developer
responds to e-mails and I got a feeling that he fears opensourcing UnACE 2.x,
but has no objections to its wider support.

According to http://fileroller.sourceforge.net/features.html, file-roller supports  
StuffIT (.SIT) archives. Only ACE is missing to close this bug.

Comment 7 Constantin JEMNA 2006-10-11 16:46:25 UTC 
UNACE is available, the same as UNRAR
No need for adding unace sources
Just to use it as an external program
Why not?
Comment 8 Paolo Bacchilega 2006-10-12 13:52:06 UTC 
ace support is in CVS now
