[aur-general] TU application sponsored by David Reisner
by Anatol Pomozov 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

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 I adopted a lot of broken and out-of-date packages.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 A lot of packages are for ruby gems that previously were out-of-date or had broken dependencies.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.

[aur-general] Disown package android-4.0.3
by Allen Li 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi, Can someone disown android-4.0.3? It has not been updated in two years and needs its PKGBUILD fixed. I have tried emailing the current maintainer, zertyz, but my email bounced with the message below, so I think it would be okay to forgo the two weeks notice as there isn't a way to reach him/her. Allen ---- Caro Internauta, Você enviou uma mensagem para um email que não é mais lido há anos -- FAVOR REENVIÁ-LA PARA O EMAIL CORRETO. Se não souber, me telefona e pergunta ;) Bjs e abçs e obrigado pela atenção!

[aur-general] Please remove AUR package chromium-plugins-stable
by Neale Pickett 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

I thought it would be useful to have a package which installs both plugins at once, but I have since been informed it is useless. I have orphaned the package; please remove it from the AUR, if possible. Thank you! Neale Pickett
