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 don't quite understand what you mean there. Can you try rephrasing that? Thanks. Did your sponsor say to leave the url as an array?
Re: [aur-general] Application for TU
Because he has no patch.

The url should be a string rather than an array. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amule-upnp/amule-upnp/PKGBUILD You should also describe exactly what is different about this package compared to the stock amule package.

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 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 >
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
