Hey, you could have just pacman -S abs and executed the abs script. Then you
could have copied the directory in /var/abs/extra/audacity to the build folder
in your ~, which is preferably in ~/abs. In said directory there's a PKGBUILD
which lets you rebuild the exact [extra] package yourself. Source [1].
