[aur-general] TU application - raster
Hi Everyone. I'm Carsten - or Raster. Sponsors: eschwartz and shibumi agreed to +1 me I'm upstream founder of enlightenment, EFL, terminology and a few other things. I work at Arm in Cambridge, UK (and live here). I've been involved in OSS and releasing software since like 1995/96 or so for Linux (And other Unixen at the time). I've worked on several distributions - RedHat, Debian (made custom variant, not upstream) and Tizen. I pretty much eat, breathe and sleep C, and of course that comes with the requisite "I can drive a shell script off a cliff gracefully" developer skill-set. Linux is my OS. I don't dual boot. All my machines are Linux machines without booting into anything else and that's been the way for me for me since I got my first PC in 1996 after I had to give up on the Amiga. This PC then ran just Linux and nothing else (never saw a DOS or Windows install). In fact all but 2 of my machines are Arch Linux (Rockpro64 dev board (debian SID) and my Ampere Emag aarch64 workstation (Ubuntu), my pinephone has Manjaro for now which is kind-of-close to Arch...). I already maintain the AUR packages for efl-git, enlightenment-git, rage-git, efl-git-asan, enlightenment-git-asan and have for a long while now (also co-maintain terminology-git). You can see that I'm responsive to issues people bring up and fix them pretty fast. I have done some edits to the arch wiki as well over time. I will admit - I haven't really touched the Arch forums... I'm really an IRC/Email person, but I am on #archlinux, #archlinux-offtopic (and #archlinux-arm) most of the time. I've been using arch as my primary/only distro now for maybe about 4-5 years. I like its simplicity and "don't patch/modify things from upstream unless absolutely needed" policy (as an upstream I smile warmly at this direction). It's very developer friendly... and that's who I am. I also run ALARM on my Rapsberry Pis. I do spend most of my effort on the upstream work on these E related projects as those are what I write, release, add features to and fix bugs in. I'm about as googlable as it gets: ras...@rasterman.com http://www.rasterman.com I know that there are a lot of packages to maintain for a very small number of people, so I'm happy to help out. I'd be best at taking over or being co-maintainer of: * efl * enlightenment * terminology Other packages I can add to community: * rage (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rage - i maintain rage-git already) * evisum (https://www.enlightenment.org/news/2020-06-07-evisum-05-release) And in future any others that I think are past the bar of "worth including in Arch community rather than AUR" over time (there are ones brewing or lurking like EDI https://www.enlightenment.org/about-edi, Ephoto https://www.enlightenment.org/about-ephoto, Enventor https://www.enlightenment.org/about-enventor) I'd also be happy to help maintain packages I know I depend on and work with that might be a bit niche like: * packagekit * ddcutil And in general just help attack anything that I know enough about to be a bit better than a bowl of dried up custard at that is in my general sphere of knowledge/use.

[aur-general] Rage-git package exists but pkg web page 404 + seems unmaintained
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rage-git Is gone but repo is alive: git clone ssh://a...@aur.archlinux.org/rage-git.git Works. As does: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rage-git.git And I see no removal request on aur-requests: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/ (downloaded full mbox archive): $ grep rage-git aur-requests.mbox sickrage-git [3]: [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/sickrage-git/ No rage-git. What happened? It's unmaintained because it doesn't build (since July 20 when I removed the autotools based build upstream and moved to meson as the build system). I put in a comment on the pkg page that the AUR pkg build was broken ages ago and offered to take over maintenance in the package comments but got no reply and now the package page at least has disappeared. How about restoring it? I can also take over maintenance as I have kept a git clone of rage-git and moved it to meson locally (have not pushed). I also now maintain efl-git and enlightenment-git too (rage-git depends on efl). -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" ------ Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com
