I have to build lots of stuff in Arch because a lot of
stuff just
doesn't come pre-built. That said, the Arch User Repository combined
with the yaourt package manager script makes it easy to build many
many pckages from source.
You're right, mark! AUR is great, but not officially supported and you
have to build from source.
We are working on cool convinient binary repositories, with some kind
of integration between packages. Things like 'pacman -S lv2-plugins'
to install all lv2-* plugins, or 'pacman -S pd-externals' to install
all pd ibs etc..
