Thanks to Danimoth, we now have a stable compiz-fusion release in community, which packages that actually seem to work. He is putting lots of work in maintaining those AFAICS, so the best course of action is to keep the stuff in community under his watch. As it hasn't been maintained for months and there has been a conflict between beryl's and fusion's emerald, I have just dropped beryl from the extra repository. However, the package files are still available at http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/beryl/i686/ http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/beryl/x86_64/ They won't be maintained or anything, they will simply sit there for everyone who may still need them.
