Include blivet-gui in the Manjaro repository

[bearcat]

I would like to see the graphical LVM manager blivet-gui included in the Manjaro repository. It is in the Fedora repository - we should have it. The AUR version is flagged as out-of-date.

Latest releast is 2.3.0 on Aug 8
AUR version is 2.1.14 and flagged out of date.

Thanks for considering!

About the Feature Request category

Share with us any innovative ideas you might have. Please read before requesting the addition of a package to the Manjaro repos: Be aware: unless there’s an obvious need (or e.g. the package is unique) the answer will probably be “no”, and especially so if it’s already in the AUR. Maintaining packages take a lot of time. Adding a package is not a one-off event and requires work by the package maintainer. Therefore, unless the package maintainer uses the software it’s very unlikely they will …

By the way, I just orphaned the AUR package so you can adopt it and update yourself if you wish.

Yes, I think it is unique. I consider it a gparted for lvm. Currently, there is no way to manage LVM except using terminal commands that I am aware of for gnome desktop. If there is, I can’t identify it.

I am not familiar with programming languages, so am not qualified to maintain anything.

Thanks.

Bumping the pkgver and updating the checksums does not require programming knowledge.

A PKGBUILD is a shell script containing the build information required by Arch Linux packages.

Won’t implement.

This would require importing multiple AUR packages:

• blivet-gui
• python-blivet
• python-pid
• libreport
• libselinux
