But, things in the AUR usually build from source unless there's a reason not to, right? I don't know if there is a policy to this effect, or if it's just common practice... but PKGBUILDS should /build/, right? :-) I just checked out Prism from SVN, but there isn't a readme on how to build it and I don't have any experience with building mozilla's code. Also the Prism wiki doesn't provide any information either. Will post back if I get anywhere... Pete.
