Description: This is Octopi, a powerful Pacman frontend using Qt (4/5) libs, compatible with Antergos, Arch Linux, ArchBang, Chakra, KaOS, Manjaro, mooOS and Netrunner Rolling.
You'll need a privilege escalation tool to use it, once running it as root will not work. Octopi supports kdesu and gksu for that.
Enjoy!Last changelog:

Hi, You can click over the repository column, so it'll sort the package list by it. When you start Octopi again, it'll remember your settings. Bye.

In archlinux I cannot install it: $ makepkg ==> Creazione del pacchetto: octopi 0.1.7.2-1 (ven 1... .... ==> Starting build... Cannot find file: /home/<user>/Projects/octopi/octopi.pro. ~/octopi-0.1.7.2/src$ ./qmake bash: ./qmake: File o directory non esistente
Please, try a "git pull" and a "makepkg" again as I've just updated the PKGBUILD file. Thanks!
