Hi,
My name is Kessia Pinheiro (a.k.a even)
I have had a quick look at your PKGBUILDs in the AUR and have a couple
of minor comments.
- When you patch a file, you should source the patch from $scrdir rather
that $startdir (e.g in ufw you use "patch -p0 -i
${startdir}/lsb_init-functions.patch").
- In the sniffit package, you patch before changing to the source
directory. Haven't tested but it looks strange to me.
- Does ibam really need libstdc++5 ?
- The BSD license is not standard so you need to install it to
/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname for each package that uses it
- You have a lot of packages with a "GPL2" license. Are you sure these
are not "GPL2 or later" which would mean the license is GPL? They could
all be right as far as I know, it just seems an unusually large
proportion of you packages.
Other than those points, you seem to have all the packaging skills
required to be a TU and you have been contributing to the Arch (Brazil)
community so I will be pleased to welcome you on board.

I like to know that you people are encouraged to be TUs. I will wait until the discussion period *officialy* starts to contribute with this thread.

the ownerships are 'nobody nobody' on that directory (and everything
in it). Can someone with super powers delete the directory or change
the ownerships to 'nobody aur'.

I don't think in that yet, maybe I can discuss that with some TU's when you aprove me. But I like very much sniffit (but its not updated for a long time), sweethome3d, textflow and oinkmaster (not necessary in that order).

[aur-general] Broken package (egoboo)
The package egoboo is broken ("couldn't create dir").
Could somebody please fix it?
Thansk, and thanks also to the TUs who already fixed some packages before
