No lvmdbusd binary in lvm2 package

Support Software & Applications

lvmdbusd is a daemon which exposes LVM API to DBus.
It’s mentioned in man 8 lvm and there are some hints it should be a part of the lvm2 package:

$ pacman -Qo /etc/lvm/profile/lvmdbusd.profile
/etc/lvm/profile/lvmdbusd.profile is owned by lvm2 2.03.30-1

The binary itself if missing and there’s no respective service.
Any hints where I can obtain one ?
I guess it just isn’t packaged. If that is so, can I contribute to the lvm2 building process ?

The URL is just the site of LVM project. I’ve sent a question to the mailing list.
The author doesn’t respond either.

The package is in manjaro’s core repository. Do they do packaging?

It’s a package we take over verbatim from Arch.

So it’s just mirrored to the manjaro’s core. I see. Could you point me to where it happens in the code / scripts?

Yes

What do you mean? If you mean the tool used maintain the Manjaro repo structure you can find the code at Manjaro’s Gitlab instance

//EDIT:
The code is old, compiles with qt4 and it has not been updated for recent versions of qt.

Yes, that’s what I meant. I wanted to see if Manjaro syncs some part of the core or the whole repository. It looks that it’s the latter.
I need to find how to contribute to the Arch’s core then. Will try to find out.
