I created the script on the forum which tries to get it from SVN using the
PKGBUILDs you made, but there were too many problems with it. One was that,
since there really is no "easy" way besides using yaourt-git to get
community PKGBUILDs, and yaourt-git has many bugs with the -G function
(like, when I try to get eina-svn, it gets eina instead). I tried fixing
this, but I would have to have people download PKGBUILDs from my post, which
is not what a script should require.
