[aur-general] TU Application - Dustin Falgout

Hi Everyone,

My name is Dustin Falgout (aka lots0logs) and this is my application to join 
the Arch Linux project as a Trusted User.

About Me:

I'm 29 years old. I live on the Gulf Coast (USA). I work for a leading 
WordPress Theme Company where I do a little bit of everything: from sales, to 
development, to quality assurance, to tech support (you name it...). My first 
experience with linux was with Ubuntu in 2003. It wasn't until around 2008 that 
I began using linux exclusively on my desktops. Wanting more control than comes 
easily with Ubuntu, I first turned to openSUSE and was content for a while. In 
early 2013, I performed my first Arch linux installation and have been using it 
ever since.

- From the start I loved almost everything about Arch. The one thing I didn't 
love was the attitudes towards new users that was so common in the forum. I 
certainly understand all sides of what is a complex issue and I'm not trying to 
open that can of worms here. I'm only mentioning it because when I first became 
an Arch user I found the overall tone of the forum to be extremely off-putting, 
so much so that I can pinpoint it as the sole reason I shied away from trying 
to become an active contributor back then. Also, it will help everyone to know 
where my head was at when I tell you the rest of my story.

I stumbled upon Antergos in May 2013 and I immediately knew that I had found my 
home. The project's goals and the views of its developers aligned perfectly 
with my own. For me, Antergos was (and still is) the perfect solution as it has 
allowed me to contribute (albeit indirectly) to the advancement of what I truly 
believe to be the best linux distribution available. I know that's a rather 
broad statement, but I'm trying to keep this short and to the point. If anyone 
would like me to elaborate on something more specifically, I'd be happy to do 
so.

I currently maintain six or seven PKGBUILDS in the AUR, of which three are 
notable: pycharm-eap[1], lightdm-webkit2-greeter[2], and 
lightdm-webkit-theme-antergos[3]. I've indirectly contributed to other packages 
in the AUR through comments by offering advice to users, notifying maintainers 
of new releases as well as any problems with PKGBUILDS (always including a 
proposed solution), and directing bug reports away from AUR comments and to 
their proper channel. I always take the time to properly request deletion of 
PKGBUILDS that shouldnt be in the AUR (for whatever reason) whenever I come 
across one. I've also reported (and still do report) bugs on 
http://bugs.archlinux.org when it was/is appropriate. On one or two occasions 
I've gone as far as reaching out directly to maintainers of official packages 
to provide them with important information.

Its's also worth mentioning that I currently maintain many packages[4] for 
Antergos and I'm open to moving any (that are appropriate) to community.

So you might be wondering: "Why become a TU now?". Well, the reason is pretty 
simple. I was asked to consider applying by Alex Filgueira, the TU who 
currently maintains the Cinnamon packages and a person with whom I've had the 
pleasure of collaborating with on Antergos for the past three years. Sadly, his 
schedule has become far too busy to continue to maintain the Cinnamon packages. 
Another TU, György Balló, has been picking up the slack for the past few months 
but, having more than a few packages of his own to maintain, he told Alex that 
it would be nice to have some help with Cinnamon. Considering that Cinnamon is 
my own personal desktop of choice, Alex thought I would want to consider 
joining forces with György to maintain Cinnamon. Obviously, Alex was correct 
and so here we are. That's my story :)

I know that every minute of your free time is priceless, so thank you all in 
advance for taking the time review and consider my application. I look forward 
to (hopefully) "making things official" between myself and Arch Linux.

Hi Dustin,

To begin with, could Alex reply to your application to confirm it?

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. Looks like some of them can't
be even distributed at all unless JetBrains license allows that; as far
as I know, distribution of ZFS binari

FWIW, the zfs package in Antergos is a source distribution using DKMS
to build. Also, (antergos-)gnome-defaults-list, assuming it's solid,
is something the Arch GNOME distribution is in need of. Would be
interesting to get in contact with whoever made that.

More on topic, if Cinnamon desperately needs maintainers, I'd welcome Dustin.

Hi Dustin

I went through your packages and had a rough look at the PKGBUILDS...
don't be scared but i wanted to dump my feedback and some personal
opinions about those:


lightdm-webkit-theme-antergos:
- just my 2 cents but post_install() should not sed around in your
  lightdm.conf as you can also install multiple theme packages

lightdm-webkit-theme-userdock:
- just my 2 cents but post_install() should not be used for explaining
  documentation/setup

lightdm-webkit2-greeter:
- you can use #tag=2.0.0 instead of doing a checkout in build()
- reference to $pkgdir should always be quoted (make call)
- should not sed the lightdm.conf in post_install() as you can possibly
  install multiple greeters

obs-service-recompress:
- this package actually pulls the git HEAD and should either be renamed
  to obs-service-recompress-git or pull the 0.3.1 tarball and have the
  pkgver() removed.
- reference to $pkgdir should always be quoted (make call)

obs-service-set_version:
- same as obs-service-recompress, pulls git HEAD with pkgver() function
  instead of 0.5.3 tarball
- reference to $pkgdir should always be quoted (make call)

obs-service-tar_scm:
- same as obs-service-recompress, pulls git HEAD with pkgver() function
  instead of 0.5.3 tarball
- reference to $pkgdir should always be quoted (make call)

pycharm-eap:
- not sure what the _eap="True" variable and the if does there as its
  the -eap package, guess it can just be dropped (including the else)
- just my 2 cents but using groups with "development" "IDE" "editor"
  and "jetbrains" feels a bit too much, groups should logically group
  together similarities like "vim-plugins" and not used like generic
  keywords



cheers,
Levente

PS: instead of inline PGP you may want to have a look at PGP/MIME...
besides weird text in clients that don't support PGP it can also result
in breakage in various scenarios where the text gets altered by MTA/MUA

Not just similarities, things that you might want to actually install 
the whole group of, like base and base-devel & co. Not to mention the 
fact that groups are pretty useless in the AUR either way.

Well, they can be useful if you maintain a binary repo as well. I don't
argue however with the other point that was made (and not quoted here).

Groups aren't entirely useless in the AUR. Once they are installed, you
can remove the whole group at once too.

Or make a custom repository out of them.

Hi Levente,
I've implemented your feedback where it was appropriate. Thanks :) I'm not 
familiar with PGP/MIME. I've heard of it, but I have no clue how to go about 
using it. I'll definitely look into it so thanks for the tip!

Hey Dustin,

That was fast, but I think you accidentally forgot to implement the most
important part of my feedback: It is not allowed to have no pkgname VCS
postfix (like -git) but pull from a git HEAD.
You either have to rename those packages or pull a static source like
github or upstream tarballs. In case of github tarballs remember to use
the source filename prefix to make them unique (like
lightdm-webkit-theme-userdock).

cheers,
Levente

The simplest way to make these "static" if you want to import them
into [community] is to pin the git source using #commit=1234567.

Also in that case, only if you have a sane reason to not stick to the
upstream released versions. If there is no real reason one should follow
the upstream released version so the commit hash should not be arbitrary
but the one of the release.
In general we want to follow upstream releases.

Hi Levente,
I do have a sane reason indeed. Upstream is not following their github 
releases. If you look in openSUSE's package repo you will see that they are 
packaging the latest master as the most recently released version. Looking at 
the history of those packages it seems that whoever is maintaining the packages 
over at openSUSE does not use github releases in their release process on a 
regular basis. Considering that, it doesnt make sense to tag the end of the 
pkgname with "-git". If you are wondering why I didn't use the short version of 
the commit hash at the end of the pkgver, well that's simply a personal 
preference of mine (to use revision numbers instead). I hope that helps clear 
up any confusion as to why I chose to do it the way that I did. 
Cheers!Dustin

If you don't specify tag or commit hash at the end of the git source, then
you should use the -git suffix. Users expect if the package has no -git
suffix, then it's a working static version tested by the maintainer, and
not some experimental code from git HEAD.

BTW, it would be nice if you could adopt some more orphan packages in the
community repository.

Its not just a should but a guideline rule [0] that must be followed
upon. For official repositories it is mandatory and will also be
enforced because of multiple reasons: the most obvious ones are rebuilds
on sobumps and reproducible packages (not yet there but a topic that is
being worked on).
The only difference is that (besides that the AUR is unsupported) on the
AUR people may not notice it or care enough to enforce that. However, in
my personal opinion, a trusted user should do things above the general
average, that's IMHO why someone should be _trusted_.

It applies for just one out of 3 packages, you should fully check your
claim before using it as an argument. Also 2/3 of those packages are not
something that could be considered "not released on regular basis"

obs-service-set_version:
- last release: Sep 3, 2015
- patch commits since release: 4
- openSUSE version [1]: 0.5.3 release

obs-service-tar_scm:
- last release: Jun 1, 2015
- patch commits since release: 9
- openSUSE version [2]: 0.5.3 0b4ce51 (2 patch commits since release)

obs-service-recompress:
- last release: Nov 5, 2013
- patch commits since release: 7
- openSUSE version [3]: 7897d3f (7 patch commits since release)

Actually, as mentioned above, its just the recompress packages that
really falls out of scope. The tar_scm is just a debian control file fix
and a missing extension parameter to service file.
I don't see any point why the release is not sufficient for those. Also
did you try to contact upstream about a recompress release?

As mentioned in my very first section, this part is not something that
can be argued upon [0], there are just two sane possibilities:
1) use a static version and have the pure package name
2) use non-static VCS (like git HEAD) and add such postfix to pkgname

I'm sorry, I did not realize we were having an argument. You asked me why I did 
it the way that I did and I explained. If I was planning to move those packages 
into community or if I thought there was even the remote possibility of my 
doing so, I would certainly make sure the packages were inline with the repo 
guidelines. However, that is not the case here. Those three packages are no 
longer of much use to me at this point. I didn't want to just orphan them 
considering they weren't requiring much from me in terms of maintenance so I 
kept them. In any case, I understand what you are saying. I am not now, nor was 
I ever, saying you are wrong. I should have made been more clear about that, my 
apologies.

Apparently Alexandre forgot to post the results here… To expand lakonic
Sebastien's answer:

Yes: 7
No: 16
Abstain: 8

The quorum is met as participation is 72.09%.

Dustin, according to our bylaws, you can re-apply after 3 months. I hope
you won't give up after this vote and we will see you again in that time.
