is is possible to include Polybar to the official packages under extra or community? if not could u plz explain?
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.
