compiz-git and other friends on Arch64

Mmm, the new compiz-git packages work fantastically well on my Arch64 installation, it all seems much smaller than my last svn cut of beryl.
Worth doing if you're interested in such things, was a painless abs installation. (One caveat, I had to add arch=('i686' 'x86_64') to the PKGBUILD of the compiz-git aur package).

Awesome. Love Expo!

SO they are all in the aur?

I found everything I needed in the AUR yes There were a few I downloaded, these I think:
bcop-git
ccs-lib-git
ccs-python-git
ccsm-git
compcomm-plugins-main-git
compiz-git
compiz-icon-git
emerald-git
emerald-themes-git

OK - this may be stupid, but is there a way to use the compiz-comm stuff without having to install GNOME? I'm still using Beryl simply because I don't need all the extra GNOME stuff that I'll never use - being a kdemod user. Are there even plans in place to get rid of GNOME dependencies in compiz? I just haven't been following this closely enough since the reintegration and don't know what the plans were/are for the core going forward...

Err, I *think * the configuration dependencies are now on ccs/bcop [or something] for doing the configuration of compiz, at least as far as I could tell there's now an /option/ as to whether you use gconf or somethign else to configure compiz, I'm not sure if there are other dependencies ?

Beryl's stopped anyhow ,they're re-merging back into compiz, (www.opencompositing.org) so long term I guess you'll have to swap
