Have compiz packages been removed from repositories?? (SOLVED)

Hi folks. I am back to Arch because I remember that we had compiz available from the repositories and it worked out of the box but now, if I try to install it (with a fresh install of the distro, finished 10 minutes ago), I get this error:

[root@archlinux-fducer-desktop ~]# pacman -S compiz-fusion
error: target not found: compiz-fusion

I wish to know what's going on here, what happened?

Thanks a lot, I'll be awaiting for your answers.
Bye.

There's compiz packages in the AUR, I can't vouch for their usability though.

If compiz is still in a working state, please consider going through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz (and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Emerald if you're using it too) and updating it.
