I'd love to see xvidenc (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidenc) and sauerbraten (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sauerbraten) in the main repos so I can just type "pacman -Sy xvidenc sauerbraten" and install them both. Any hope of this, ever?

sauerbraten is in the community repo. xvidenc isn't even in the AUR yet, so someone (maybe you? ) needs to do that first (unless a dev suddenly takes a fancy to it).
General hint: please search all repos before making a package request.

ya; i know sauerbraten is inthe aur...i was wondering if it would ever be in the main repo - the one you get when you search on the main page of archlinux.org...

Sauerbraten isn't simply in AUR, it's in community...
You can simply activate the [community] repository in your /etc/pacman.conf. The Trusted Users package sauerbraten for you, and you can install from [community] as from the main repos.
To search the repositories you have activated you can use pacman -Ss pkgname
I currently don't see a chance to get it in the main repository, unless we get someone who makes dedicated games packaging. Simply a matter of time (developers), but i think TUs is fine also .
Xvidenc? Anyone?

You may have to reboot after installing to get xvidenc in the path. Enjoy.

PKGBUILD has been deleted from the AUR until you upload a *completely* rewritten one.
Points to consider before uploading a new PKGBUILD:
* /opt is NOT the place for a simple script, it's not there for your convenience and xvidenc should be moved to /usr like most other packages. This is top priority.
* As well as the move to /opt you must also remove the .install file you have created. It is pointless to export any variables from a .install script. This is the point of the shell script which is now useless anyway.
* You do not need to compress your own manpages, the makepkg script will do this automatically.
* Consider using the "install" command instead of the many lots of mkdir, cp/mv and chmod.
* If you ever do need to add an extra file (such as a patch) it must go in the source array, this is referring to the shell script you've created for /etc/profile.d.
* Finally, if possible, you should be using any included makefiles/install scripts rather than so many instance of cp. Even if patching a makefile is required it is still better than the method used now.
Please make all these changes before uploading a new PKGBUILD and include a valid email address on your account.

Yes, in future i'll just use the provided install script which shoves stuff in /usr/local/
Oh wait, isnt that disallowed!
Thanks for the other points.

let's just ignore --prefix, shall we? And if it's broke... patch or sed are some good tools.
example:
sed -i 's/\/usr\/local/\/usr/g' <your broken file>
The suggestion box only accepts patches.

Fixed, in my own way. I hope you don't shoot this one down, it's not a mess like the last one.

Here's an even simpler version.

I got inspired and did the other one h264enc as well. Hopefully it's alright as I took the inspiration from this thread.
