Re: [aur-general] Application for TU
I guess you should keep working for now. Improving your skills, etc.. I think you're doing a great job but need to practice and improve it more to become a TU. IMHO, off course. For what it's worth, I agree with this. Anyone contributing only 20 packages, containing some fairly elementary mistakes, surely isn't yet TU material.
Re: [aur-general] Application for TU
Hi all. I'd like to thank you for all your suggestions. Some mails made me open my eyes, then I perceived that this is not the right moment for becoming a TU. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. I hope to study more, prepare more, to soon come and apply again for TU. Thanks. 2009/7/6 Chris Giles chris.g...@gmail.com I guess you should keep working for now. Improving your skills, etc..

Re: [aur-general] Application for TU
A few notes on your PKGBUILDs - url is a string, not an array (amule-upnp) - package description should not start with pkgname (baltazar, dirac-codec) - you can use $pkgname-$pkgver in source array, makes maintenance easier (cpuspeed) - backup array has preceding slashes (cpuspeed) - if you put a package in depends, there is no need to put it in makedepends as well (rtpproxy) - putting in '|| return 1' would be nice here (wireless-applet); this is especially important when you'll include patches. -- Abhishek
Re: [aur-general] Application for TU
Another point... You should keep other contributor's names in the package. You adopted the packages, right?! As I could see, you have packages from 2007 for example. And you had just put your name as the only one who contributed for the package. :/ When you adopt a package, you should put your name and keep the others. best regards --- - °v° Marcelo Cavalcante Rocha / Kalib - /(_)\ Usuário Linux #407564 / Usuário Asterisk #1148 - ^ ^ GNU-Linux - Livre, Poderoso e Seguro - TUX-CE Member - www.tux-ce.org - Archlinux-br Developer Team - http://archlinux-br.org - http://www.marcelocavalcante.net On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 5:43 AM, Abhishek Dasgupta abh...@gmail.com wrote: A few notes on your PKGBUILDs - url is a string, not an array (amule-upnp) - package description should not start with pkgname (baltazar, dirac-codec) - you can use $pkgname-$pkgver in source array, makes maintenance easier (cpuspeed) - backup array has preceding slashes (cpuspeed) - if you put a package in depends, there is no need to put it in makedepends as well (rtpproxy) - putting in '|| return 1' would be nice here (wireless-applet); this is especially important when you'll include patches. -- Abhishek

[aur-general] Application for TU
Hello everyone. I'm interested in becoming a TU. Thotypous has agreed to be my sponsor. My current goals are: 1 - Doing my best to help in improving the AUR. Maintain my packages in good condition and encourage people to keep packages in AUR; 2 - I want to improve my knowledge related to ArchLinux and to help colleagues using Arch; 3 - I'd like to participate actively in decisions regarding to Arch; 4 - Representing Arch and talking about its philosophy and tools in events about Free Software. I currently maintain 21 packages in AUR (my user is corvolino). I'm already an Arch user for about 3 years. I use Linux since 2005. Since then, I have learned a lot with research, forums and friends. I'm a member of Arch Linux Brazil since the end of last year, where I already help with packages, documentation and translation. I also helped with documentation and support in other distributions I've used. For those who don't know me, I'm participatory and I'll always do what I can to help Arch Linux. Thanks for all those helped me so far, corvolino. -- corvolino ~ Linux User #459152 Blog - http://corvolinopunk.wordpress.com Archlinux-br Developer Team
