Unity Arch linux

Hi,
I was searching for a new desktop to install, I saw the unity desktop in AUR, but it seems it's out of date also it will not build.
The 2D version uses qt it's much lighter but the two packages from AUR won't work unity2d and Unity2d-bzr.
Perhaps a new pkgbuild it would be nice if it worked on Arch linux.
Thanku!

I get this error when building unity2D-bzr , I looked the file up it's at a Ubuntu server they changed the version.

Re: Unity Arch linux

I would also like to get unity running on arch linux. All the screenshots I've seen of ubuntu 11.10 have made me want to give unity a second chance. Also since it's been built on gnome 3 it should be able to run on our arch systems.

Re: Unity Arch linux

I would also like to get Unity working, right now I am trying to install unity2D-bzr and I am getting an error with "utouch-geis" installation/compilation. From what I can tell it is compiled with -Werror and there are some variables that are not used thus I get and error and thus I can't install it.
