MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for compiz-boxmenu [2]:

It seems it is best to delete this package now.

It is on the last release, from 2015 ([a]).

Its mandatory dependency, python2-lxml segfaults on tests due to ABI-
incompatibility with current Arch Linux libraries (libxml2, libxslt).

Even with the latter installed (after skipping its tests), compiz-
boxmenu-autoconfig, which is recommended to be executed first, fails
to run due to missing the Python 2 module 'compizconfig'.

There seem to be no such module available on AUR anymore.

If compiz-boxmenu is still useful, I recommend creating a git VCS
package for upstream's master branch, which seems to be still
maintained, and is already ported to Gtk3 and Python3. [b]
