Polybar requires optional modules to be already installed before you compile 
it. Once built with those, it won't run without those dependencies installed.

So to have a pre-compiled version you would need to either force-install every 
optional dependency with the Arch package (no longer 'optional', and kills 
extendability), or make decisions on which features to include/exclude (no 
longer 'customisable').

Unless this changes I don't see that polybar is compatible with Arch 
packaging. However, the AUR is an ideal place for it.
