Maybe of interest to the budding astronomers out there. 
(I know its in the repo but its not been updated in a while.)

pkgname=stellarium
pkgver=0.6.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with openGL"
depends=()
source=(http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/stellarium/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('f00e99b88f53273419683cf18905e39c')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Great piece of software. Didn't have anything in common with astronomers until now. Seems like fun... and I love the rendering...

Thank you.

Re: [new] Stellarium

are you able to compile it under arch CURRENT with x.org and mesa installed?

compiled on a system where mesa is installed it fails running in hardware-accelerated 3d --- that's why it is not yet updated

if you have input on my pkgs in the repos, please contact me directly - this way it's much easier + faster

btw: depends=('esd' 'sdl' 'x-server')

Re: [new] Stellarium

Sorry dp, I hadn't twigged that Damir Perisa was you, otherwise I would have contacted you.  Only saw that the package was flagged out of date.

I'm using xorg  11R6.8.2-2 without mesa, using arch-2.6.10 & nvidia 1.0.6629-4 with a GeForce2 Ti card, if that helps.

Re: [new] Stellarium

using:
- Xorg 11R6.8.2-2 without mesa (I had the feeling it is not needed since 3D is natively supported, so I removed it - I think I also had some slow down problems with some OpenGL KDE screensavers)
- kernel 2.6.9-nitro4
- nvidia 1.0.6629-4 with GeForce 5700

esd? does it have sound?

P.S. I like the star trails when pressing left/right and everything spins
