Arch Linux User Repository

Hi, @everyone : I've just adopted the package and you can now build it again ;)

well im happy even though its gtk i got pamac to build so deff not using discover and if i knew enough i would help out with alpm_octopi_utils and octopi maint...but no idea what needs to be done or how to go about it

ok, thank you for the comments dont mind using pacman and git clone yaourt etc. just like having handy list of pkgs with info etc. displayed using gui "octopi" not a deal breaker discover might work out ill check it out again but my kde mem usage normally with out my vpn on is .31 gib in ksysguard when idle just system & user running proccesses bunch masked services and some targets i like keeping it lean gnome-shell mem hog and not as customizable even with 8gb ram kde works better than gnome-shell for me on hdd and evan used just window manager for awhile but after adding stuff i get about same mem usage so arch-kde all the way for me :-)

@buzo just for the record: this library is mandatory dependency of octopi (https://github.com/aarnt/octopi) which is actively maintained by the same author. I'm pretty sure it's not dead and if someone care report those issues upstream they will be solved.

Disowned this package because of lack of time for it and upstream seams dead: Last commit in September 2016.

I tried to install it and I had the same error that monterral.

tried rebuild this pkg becouse octopi no longer has aur support after some updates today and i update daily...no problems ever but it happens so thought id try building them again to fix and got error :::
