[SOLVED] how to add python-imaging ?

I'm new to Arch Linux but i'm wanting to make a Zope/Plone CMS server run on it.
I will install it from tarballs then configure my pre-existing portail (plone instance)

Now for some products I'll need to have some libraries running fine on my AL server station, like libxml2, libxlst, etc.. I found most of them are obtainable on current & extra repositories

But some of the zope products i use need the server to have python Imaging (PIL) capabilities, and i couldn't find PIL / python-imaging packages in repositories.
I may also compile it from sources, but this make need some times (computer is an old PII Deschuttes) and i'd like to escape this
Searched on forums and found an interesting post on it : pil (in AUR Package Requests) and a PKGBUILD.
Well, that would be fine if only i knew how to deal with such a PKGBUILD :oops:
the 2nd one was made for python-2.3* but i presume this would be easily editable ?

Now please where can i learn how to use such a PKGBUILD ?

*

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/include/python2.3/

there is a pkgbuild in the aur, then go to it's directory and type makepkg in a console as a user, then when the pakcage is made (and if there where no errors) type su, enter root password, then pcaman -A package*

It's in the [community] repo - uncomment the community section from /etc/pacman.conf and do "pacman -Sy" and "pacman -S pil"

Yes it is in 'community'

I couldn't find before, not only because i do plan to use "conservative" mirrors (well, that PC's a server, not for individual testing), but also i did not know yet www.archlinux.org/packages.php does not include 'community' packages.

I also launched '/usr/bin/sortmirrors' script that re-order the mirrors according to fastest ping/traceroute results.

Thank you for the tip indeed
