By "help with any queries or issues" I mean looking for help getting it running on Arch to help create a working PKGBUILD, not contributing to the projects as such; just using Web/forums/lists/bugs/IRC/email usually in that order. With forums/lists/bugs I may just monitor rather than participate unless necessary. Here's a few recent examples: abe had an issue which I found a fix for from an existing bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1463202&group_id=70141&atid=526743 I was in contact with openclonk on IRC where I relayed on the package comments that 5.3 should fix the current issues (when released) and that the hg version works (which I also maintain): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44976 I used to maintain amazonmp3 and was in contact with upstream about issues via email. > you should have excellent response times in case you become TU.

Yes, there are packages I have not edited if they work. I will fix these today and any future ones I adopt right away. Thank you for pointing that out. > do you know how to write a PKGBUILD from scratch? Yes I am very capable of doing this [1]. I have thoroughly read the PKGBULD man page and wiki entry and also about creating packages and standards. I do have one question, and that is the use of curly brackets. I find people recommending and not recommending their use but nothing official stated. I am aware of their purpose so is it down to personal preference? > If you clean your packages following my above suggestions, I might > sponsor you. > > -- Sven-Hendrik Thank you. jsteel [1] Example of a PKGBUILD I created from scratch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53718
