It seems that the version of wicd in extra (version 1.4.1) is outdated and has currently no maintainer. The new version (version 1.5.x) is moved from /usr/lib/wicd to respect FHS and add interesting new features. There is also a svn version in the AUR, but I don't think it is stable enough to be in extra. So what are the plans for this package ?
No idea. I'd be pleased to maintain it in [community] if no dev is willing to maintain it. I and some of my users love it for laptops.
I have updated the wicd package build, daemon script, and install script. All the files are now in /usr /etc and /var using standard paths /usr/bin/wicd-client contains both the tray and gui elements now and /usr/lib/wicd/daemon.py is the daemon. I have included the update tar file. Hopefully Varun (the maintainer) can use this as a base for the new package. Anyone who wants the new version of wicd can also use this package. I have the pkgrel set to 0 so that when an official package comes out pacman will pick it up. This package works on my system, but of course I can not guarantee it won't blow up your system! ~Pyther
