The PKGBUILD for velox-git is a real mess:

-> arch=('any') is incorrect (should be 'x86_64' 'i686')
-> depends=() has wrong dependencies
-> package doesn't run because it cannot find its modules

[brian at petunia velox-git]$ namcap velox-git-20121202-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

velox-git W: Dependency included and not needed ('xcb-util')

The PKGBUILD for velox is worse:

-> arch=('any') is incorrect (should be 'x86_64' 'i686')
-> depends=() has wrong dependencies
-> does not even build
-> probably wouldn't run even if it did

I emailed a new PKGBUILD that fixes problems for velox-git to the
maintainer's AUR address some months ago and did no receive any
response.  Perhaps his TU address will yeild a response.
