Description:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/connman/pacrunner.git/ is a complement to connman (already packaged) that offers proxy auto configuration (PAC) in a daemon. It offers libproxy drop-in replacement, but is more efficient as the cache and load is in the daemon, shared by all processes. It will also avoid all processes to load heavyweight dependencies such as talking to gsettings/mozjs as done by traditional libproxy.
This task depends upon

This isn't really how things are done. If you want it, package it and put it in the AUR; or go to the forums and request that someone else package it and put it in the AUR. If it's popular and a TU/Dev has any interest in it, it will get moved to the main repos.

Sorry Doug, it's not a harsh push for package... as I saw someone packaged connman already, the same maintainer may have that on his queue and *maybe* was interested into getting it.

I'm doing the PKGBUILD, actually it's ready, but I've found a bug with pacrunner itself and i'm working to fix that before I submit the package for AUR :-)

It was packaged by gtmanfred, who resigned a few months ago. It's sitting as an orphan in the repos, so there's really nobody to even assign this to. Best to just close this and go the AUR route.
