cwiid not found in the db

I'm new to ArchLinux and am trying to get my Wii remote to work with cwiid.

I followed the wiki here.
Here is what I get

#pacman -S cwiid
error: 'cwiid': not found in sync db

It seems that cwiid is no longer in the comunity database, why would this be?

Here is the author's website that shows that it was there at one point here

BTW I have the [community] uncommneted in the pacman.conf file.

Thanks

Re: cwiid not found in the db

It's been orphaned and moved to Unsupported in the AUR.

Thank you for the reply.

I looked in to how the whole AUR thing works, its not that bad(its awsome).  Now I have a Wii remote for a mouse.  Maybe I should update the wiki

Re: cwiid not found in the db

Could you tell me how you did it, Chingzilla? I want to turn my Wiimote into a media remote/mouse, with the classic controller as a joypad.
