Why we should include this into the repository, i.e. what does it do that the alternatives do not?
Solus already provides unison, thus having unison-gtk would be a great enhancement.

Is it open source?
Yes.

If it is open source, please provide a link to the most up to date, versioned source tarball/zipfile. master.zip links will not be accepted.

DataDrake moved this task from Backlog to Accepted For Inclusion on the Package Requests board.

I'll enable this in the existing unison package and have it get split out into unison-gtk.

I made a package.yml for it. Mostly stolen from Archlinux.

The current unison package just downloads a binary. This package.yml builds it from source including the GTK version.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it also requires lablgtk2.

The current unison package just downloads a binary.

No it doesn't. It builds it from source.

@DataDrake Oh, yeah it does. I'm not sure where I got that impression. Probably missed the build section in the package.yml. Sorry about that.

Casually prodding @DataDrake while going through requests.

DataDrake removed DataDrake as the assignee of this task.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a completed patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.

Haha mass close fail xD

@DataDrake you were the one that was going to split this and fix it.
