Hi freswa, I would like to ask you the following questions: 1. How do you monitor new software releases? Do you use a specific tool for this like urlwatch? 2. How do you want to participate in the Arch Linux community? I see that you are very active in the IRC and on the bugtracker. Are there other areas, where you are active? 3. Do you use any tools for enforcing a specific PKGBUILD format? For example shfmt? 4. Are you testing your packages? If so, how? Do you spawn a VM via vagrant? Or do you use systemd-nspawn or docker images? Or do you just test it locally on your machine? Thanks chris
