I think it has something to do with eopkg, I usually update/install packages using the command line and from time to time on large downloads eopkg just freezes, probably due to its implementation.

This bug will probably be fixed with Sol, eopkg's successor as Solus' package manager

looks like Sol is no longer in dev.

It absolutely is. Just delayed. Please don't spread misinformation.

i'm not, it LOOKS like it is no longer in dev. (see github page)

I think most of Sol's development is done here on phabricator, in a hidden repo.

The Solus team doesn't have full access to the "solus-project" GitHub organization so everything by this organization is either forked somewhere else of depreciated

You are talking to the person who is actually writing it. It's still in development, just not in that repo. That was a one-off when Ikey started working on his version of it. My design is very different, written in Go instead of C, and not yet in a state I am comfortable sharing.

I do most of my early development locally because I don't want to be flooded with issues and PRs during the design process. Once I am caught up on other higher priority projects (i.e. ferryd) and the code is in a state that I am comfortable sharing, it will be in a new repo under the Solus Github organization.

OK. Good. but if you don't want it to look like its no longer in dev. you might think about putting the last post on the github page.

and

responding to the query, from a year ago, asking if the project was dead?

We've already covered this in numerous places including our blog. I see no reason to go back and necro a repo on a github org we aren't using anymore.

googling gets you there.

why not mark it as defunct? would have saved us both having this conversation.

Because I feel no need to. It doesn't come up that often and right now you are the only one making a big deal out of it.
