It's ridiculous to think that one person, even if member of GitHub organization (which may or may not mean anything), can single-handedly affect decision of either project. It's difficult even here at Arch, and we are one of smaller teams. I fail to understand how discussion got where it is now. Is sponsorship process about packaging quality and candidate in general or pushing some agenda through projects that applicant is helping with? Bartłomiej

[aur-general] TU resignation
Hi everyone, for a long time I've been both a developer and TU. As a trusted user I wasn't really involved with anything beyond looking for people that could be a good fit to Arch. With recent additions to the team, I'm sure you can keep the ball rolling on your own. Therefore I'm resigning from my TU position and remain "just" a grumpy developer.

As apparently nobody on our IRC channel knows you, it makes me think that you didn't really read it[1]. 5 packages that are development releases or git checkouts isn't impressive. You said that you would like to move stable otter-browser to repositories, but what besides it? "Some packages" is too vague to infer anything.

How exactly are you going to contribute to Arch, except maintaining Cinnamon? Packages from AUR you mentioned aren't really notable (and in fact, one just repackages proprietary tarball) and these in Antergos repositories also seem rather unpopular.

Nikos,
The [extra] package is always set to some particular commit from stable
branch. I don't have particular opinion on your question, but as a
user, I would expect lib32-libx264 to provide the same commit as the
repositories counterpart do, -git to track master branch and
-foobar-git to track commits in foobar branch.

Yes, I have accepted the request, then realized it's completely untrue and asked the maintainer to re-adopt it. Additionally I'm the one who flagged the package because, obviously, there is a newer release, not because it's broken.

This way we should also split ttf-bitstream-vera, ttf-dejavu, ttf-freefont, ttf-liberation and ttf-ubuntu-family. Why limit ourselves to only normal, condensed and so on?

So my problem regarding the username account on BBS is now solved, but not for my AUR account yet. Have you tried to register an account as 'wget' on the AUR too? According to the error message I get when I try to register it, it appears someone has asked for a password recovery but has never clicked on the link he received by email. If you don't use that account, could you release it to me, in that way, I could use the same identity across all ArchLinux platforms (AUR, BBS, Wiki and IRC). Thanks a lot for your help; regards, You should consider registering aria2 or curl, wget is taken and I see no reason to release it.
