[aur-general] TU application sponsored by David Reisner
Hi everyone I would like to apply for a Arch Trusted User position. It is sponsored by my co-worker and bright engineer David Reisner. My name is Anatol Pomozov, I grew up in Belarus but live in USA now. I am an open-source enthusiast who uses Linux since about 2005. I've been using several distros mostly Debian based. About 2.5 years ago, when Ubuntu in-place upgrade killed my system once again, I've decided to give a try to a rolling-release distro. I had heard that Arch was difficult to use and unstable so I've been skeptical that Arch would survive at my computers for a long time. At my surprise Arch installation was easy and system was fast and stable. Documentation is clean and very helpful. And package manager is *FAST*! Yeah! I fell in love with Arch from the very first day. A few months later all my home computers were moved to Arch. And despite that I usually do crazy experiments at my home machines I've never had serious problems with Arch. Well, the only problem with Arch was in systemd-207 that prevented my btrfs-root machine from booting. About a year ago I started playing more active role in Arch community. I adopted a lot of broken and out-of-date packages. Currently I own 350+ packages [1]. A lot of packages are for ruby gems that previously were out-of-date or had broken dependencies. I improved existing gem2arch tool [2] and it helps me with ruby packages herding. At my day job I work on Linux kernel development/support at a large server farm. My daily activity includes a lot of debugging, performance profiling, code archaeology both for linux kernel and in-house userspace code. Some of my linux changes went upstream, here are few of them: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/391 http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=134750749009884&w=2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/171 Google Chromebook developers reported that my last patch fixed one of their top kernel crashes! Recently me and my 6 y/o son started learning microelectronics and digital design. Maybe some day we'll create MIPS-like CPU. Why do I want to become a TU? I like Arch and would like to keep it improving. It means making packages better, participate in important discussions that define where the distro moves. The short/mid terms plans for me are: - move some of my aur packages to community: rethinkdb, codespell, tup, mldonkey, v8. There are some other aur packages that I use and would also like to see in [community]: fatsort, digital design related tools, ... - add android-sdk-* packages. Current AUR packages download binaries and install binaries to /opt/bin. The binaries are 32-bit. Instead we should build SDK from sources and provide proper 64/32-bit binaries. This might be tricky as Android build system is complicated. - request moving Apache to [community] and finally update this package to 2.4 I can help with linux kernel issues, especially if they are related to storage/block subsystem. I also have experience with Ruby. This is my favorite scripting language that I use for 10 years now and I'll be glad to help with Ruby in Arch as well.

Cloning the sources alone takes ages and a ridiculous amount of disk space. There are at least two trusted users interested in doing this, but it hasn't happened yet. It would be *great* if you got it working :).

Also please note that we binary sdk provided by google is not redistributable so careful with that. +1

Several of us are just waiting to be spoon-fed with this. I downloaded 8GB worth of sources on a remote machine, trimmed and tarred it to 1GB, just to build a custom recovery for a cheapo device. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

In fact, I prefer using relative paths where it makes paths shorter.

In this case '..' will differ from $srcdir. But unpacked source directory can't be a symlink, is it? I do not mind to change it to the longer version "$srcdir/foo" if this is a recommended way to do, but first I want to know why it is recommended. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

At my surprise Arch installation was easy and system was fast and stable. Documentation is clean and very helpful. And package manager is *FAST*! Yeah! I fell in love with Arch from the very first day. A few months later all my home computers were moved to Arch. And despite that I usually do crazy experiments at my home machines I've never had serious problems with Arch. Well, the only problem with Arch was in systemd-207 that prevented my btrfs-root machine from booting. About a year ago I started playing more active role in Arch community. I adopted a lot of broken and out-of-date packages. Currently I own 350+ packages [1]. A lot of packages are for ruby gems that previously were out-of-date or had broken dependencies. I improved existing gem2arch tool [2] and it helps me with ruby packages herding. At my day job I work on Linux kernel development/support at a large server farm. My daily activity includes a lot of debugging, performance profiling, code archaeology both for linux kernel and in-house userspace code. Some of my linux changes went upstream, here are few of them: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/391 http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=134750749009884&w=2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/171 Google Chromebook developers reported that my last patch fixed one of their top kernel crashes! Recently me and my 6 y/o son started learning microelectronics and digital design. Maybe some day we'll create MIPS-like CPU. Why do I want to become a TU? I like Arch and would like to keep it improving. It means making packages better, participate in important discussions that define where the distro moves. The short/mid terms plans for me are: - move some of my aur packages to community: rethinkdb, codespell, tup, mldonkey, v8. There are some other aur packages that I use and would also like to see in [community]: fatsort, digital design related tools, ... - add android-sdk-* packages. Current AUR packages download binaries and install binaries to /opt/bin. The binaries are 32-bit. Instead we should build SDK from sources and provide proper 64/32-bit binaries. This might be tricky as Android build system is complicated. - request moving Apache to [community] and finally update this package to 2.4 I can help with linux kernel issues, especially if they are related to storage/block subsystem. I also have experience with Ruby. This is my favorite scripting language that I use for 10 years now and I'll be glad to help with Ruby in Arch as well.

But unpacked source directory can't be a symlink, is it? I didn't read anything letting assume that a source cannot be a symlink to a directory. So it can be done manually. As far I remember, I got this issue one time, when I manually symlinked the kernel linux directory in my $startdir directory to a shared copy. > > I do not mind to change it to the longer version "$srcdir/foo" if this > is a recommended way to do, but first I want to know why it is recommended. > Although it's not strictly recommended (we lack of official recommendation?), this way works in all cases.

Do we override > Hal > to open the hatch? Technically, that is correct. However, I am sure there are many other TUs volunteering to be the sponsor after having read the application and the discussion (me, for example). So I don't think it is a problem. If it makes feel anyone better, please run sed 's/David Reisner/Lukas Fleischer/g' on your inbox (the misspelling of Dave's name comes in useful here!)

I'm not opposed to the application (it looks very promising to me). I just wanted to mention this issue because there is no point in having by-laws if we ignore them every time we assume that there is a tacit consensus to do so.

I am fine with this. I still need to understand why Arch community is split into two groups 'developers' and 'trusted users'. They seems have similar responsibilities: maintaining packages and developing Arch toolset. > Although it's not strictly recommended (we lack of official > recommendation?), this way works in all cases.

They seems have similar > responsibilities: maintaining packages and developing Arch toolset. For historical reasons: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community_repository#History The [community] repository began as a binary repository for the AUR. It still retains that function, but the split is no longer as pronounced. Basically, slightly popular packages go into [community], and very popular ones into [extra]. The [extra] repo has a tighter control over what goes in, whereas [community] is almost open. Both groups have useful people: the pacman, core and early userspace folks, and the AUR back-end folks. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Hi Anatol, Thanks for applying. Your AUR packages looks solid and I have a good impression of you from having communicated before. If you become a TU and wish to adopt my ruby-related packages, I would be happy to give them away. :) -- Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU
