Actually, in light of the information present at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_GUI_Frontends I will retract my previous comment. Too many existing, working Gtk front-ends for me to bother with gtkpacman. On 14/06/2014, David Phillips wrote:

This one might be a bit controversial.

gtkpacman hadn't been updated in over 6 years and hasn't functioned since pacman 4.1 at least, possibly before. I think it's safe at this point to say that it's dead. Dead + non-functional = should be removed IMO. Yes, it was a popular package with over 300 votes, but it's time is passed.

Oh, so Wakka was abandoned. I had assumed it was still running. I might have a look at forking Wakka or something... anyway, that's outside the scope of this thread, I'm no longer opposing deletion. On 14/06/2014, Doug Newgard wrote:

You're pretty much talking about forking it to do that. There are tarballs on Sourceforge, so it should be doable. You'd probably need to rename the software unless you could get permission from the original author to just take over as-is.

I know there was one fork, wakka, that was also abandoned.
