Octopi – powerful Pacman Qt frontend

Octopi consists of a package browser, sudo helper, notifier, cache cleaner and repository editor.

Through the browser you can search for packages from main and foreign repositories, (re)install (including local packages), remove, upgrade, visualize their files and view repository changes and distribution news. All package database actions that involve changes are performed using the pacman command while the other read-only tasks are executed with alpm‘s help.

Qt-sudo is the only privilege escalation tool compatible with Octopi. It expects the user to be a member of the wheel group to execute any pacman command using sudo. The source code is based on lxqt-sudo with LXQt dependencies removed.

Notifier shows latest repository changes at the interval you choose as well as enabling you to install them.

Cache cleaner helps you clean the cache of packages created by this never ending download from the repositories, so your disk space can be relieved.

The repository editor helps you add, enable, disable and remove a pacman repository.

This is free and open source software.
