If anyone wants to beta test it (looks like it works well for me) here is my PKGBUILD base in the one for the stable release.

I did try to make one with the diff file for civworld but it did not work.

That's good stuff, my friend. I've had for some time a PKGBUILD in my local repo's for the 2.0 beta releases. I just never posted it. I recently updated mine as well for the beta6 release.
One thing that really bothered me about the last release, was all of a sudden, I couldn't move right or left anymore. The only movements were up, down, and the diagonals. I wasted many a move without the left/right working. It's functionality would come and go at random. I read the diff changes from the prior beta, and they only mention:
" Improve some keyboard controls in the gtk2 client."
I hope that fixed it. The only remedy for me was to save, close the app., fire it back up, and cross my fingers i had all directional movement again.

I only came into the fray at beta 6.
I tried the stable, and that was ok but beta6 is quite good except that every so often when I load a save game I go AI.
Ok, so a quick edit of the save file fixes that but it is a pain.
Kind regards
