My package, godesk (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37635), is no longer needed. Apparently the archlinux community (maybe only me) pestered them enough for them to decide to make official packages! (http://www.odesk.com/community/node/234) This new edition was apparently created at the expense of the static version.
At the bottom of the page it says "oDesk supports the following Linux versions: Ubuntu 8.10+, Debian 4+, Fedora 9+ and OpenSuse 11+." It does not say archlinx... but I guess it is a start. -- Stephen Weinberg
