Hi, metakit is used by no other official packages and was recently moved from [extra] to [community] due to a lack of interest.
It currently does not build. The last event in the changelog is in 2007: http://equi4.com/pub/mk/CHANGES The latest release was 3 years ago: https://github.com/jcw/metakit/tree/2.4.9.7 Moving to AUR. -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
