I wonder if anyone's interested in getting it working again? If nobody else is willing, I'll adopt it. On 14/06/2014, Doug Newgard 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.

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. Doug

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.

+1 for me. I'll delete it a week from now if no one shows up to save it. -- Maxime
