gnome package kit

Hi I'm trying to install a gui frontend for pacman. I've tried to get gnome packagekit and appset but pacman can't seem to find them. I must be typing them incorrectly; what's the exact name of the packages for these?

Re: gnome package kit

There are no packagekit packages in the Arch repos. There are some in the AUR that may suit you.

More generally, there is currently no working GUI for pacman, but there are some in development.

Re: gnome package kit

so I'd have to use the tarball for appset if I really wanted it then?

Re: gnome package kit

Did you look in the AUR as suggested?
