That would help in knowing whether the AUR package is needed. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=253710 This is purely related to the pygtk-based plugin support. (Plugins that use C, scheme, etc. are not affected.) > Seems strange the AUR package was posted and orphaned on 2020-03-18? The person who uploaded it was interested in providing a solution for the forum user whose python/pygtk based plugin no longer worked -- and in demonstrating how that solution could be achieved in the general case. The person who uploaded it was not interested in providing long-term maintenance of that AUR package, therefore, it was immediately orphaned. Seems pretty clear-cut to me. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
