As universe is not official, I guess this is normal.  I believe most of them can be found on AUR (well thunderbird from arch extra), although it's not the same to use a distro built package, with the distro own libraries ans such, than a binary generated from and for another distro, which is what usually happens with *-bin packages on AUR, if not wanting to build huge packages, such as librewolf.  The exceptions are autofs-s6 and sequoia-octopus-librnp, which I don't see available on AUR.

Although I'd like a non systemd distto to provide autofs, and its service package (in my case autofs-s6), given I don't find equivalent non systemd SW,  I can get away with the AUR autofs, but I'm still missing autofs-s6.  The sequoia-octopus-librnp package I know is sort of a special case, but I really liked it compared to what TB provides, which I really dislike.

Where can I grab the last versions of autofs-s6 and sequoia-octopus-librnp pacman packages (PKGBUILD and company)?  And do you know, at least for the sequoia-octopus-librnp, how to find out about new versions?

It's sad to see those packages dropped, but I guess their maintainers are too busy to keep an eye on them.  I'll really miss them, specially the two ones I mentioned not having AUR equivalents.

Thanks !
