Installing sametime plugin for gaim ( Lotus Sametime users)

Hi,
I just installed sametime plugin in gaim and want to share it with all using Sametime protocol for chatting.

#sudo -s
# abs
#mkdir /var/abs/local/meanwhile
#cd /var/abs/local/meanwhile
# vi PKGBUILD

pkgname=meanwhile
pkgver=0.4.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Meanwhile Libraries"
url=""
license=""
depends=('glib2')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://keihanna.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/meanwhile/meanwhile-0.4.2.tar.gz)
md5sums=()

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

#makepkg
#pacman -A meanwhile-0.4.2-1.pkg.tar.gz
#mkdir /var/abs/local/gaim-meanwhile
#cd /var/abs/local/gaim-meanwhile
#vi PKGBUILD
pkgname=gaim-meanwhile
pkgver=1.2.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Gaim Meanwhile Libraries"
url=""
license=""
depends=('gaim' 'meanwhile')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://keihanna.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/meanwhile/gaim-meanwhile-1.2.4.tar.gz)
md5sums=()

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

#makepkg
#pacman -A gaim-meanwhile-1.2.4-1.pkg.tar.gz

Both installs like a charm.
Now start gaim as a normal user and add your sametime details.
Now isn't making packages on Arch dammmm easy.
I already love arch

Enjoy sametime connectivity.

PS: you may use any server to get the source tar.gz files, as per your convenience.
