[aur-general] TU Application
by Bartek Piotrowski 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi, Part (Mateusz Herych) decided to sponsor my TU application. My name is Bartłomiej Piotrowski. I live in Szczecin (Poland). I learn and work here. I'm a Linux user since 2005 when I bought Suse 9.3 on 4 CDs. My hardware was too cheap to run it comfortably, so I gave up. I changed my computer in 2008, and after a year with Ubuntu and Debian I decided to install Arch. Arch is a perfect distro for me for many reasons - it has clean dependencies, it's bleeding edge and I don't need to compile anything (but if I want, it's not a problem). I forgot to mention KISS and the great community. It's just obvious to me. ;) I maintain 21 packages in AUR[1]. Only 3 were submitted by me, and the rest was orphaned and/or untidy - corrected by me, now they follow packaging guidelines. Every package has some votes and is tested on my machines. One of them, mplayer2[2] was taken to [community] by Stéphane Gaudreault. I was also contributing to it from time to time. I'm a coordinator and (the only one) Polish translator of Arch projects in Transifex[3]. Pacman translation is not ready for the 4.0 release yet, and I hope it will be done in some time. I had to skip dev/TU specific strings in my AUR translation - it's hard to translate something without knowledge about context. I help people from the Polish community board. When Polish Wiki works (now it doesn't), I translate small articles. I know basics of C, C++ and Perl, but I'm not a programmer. I juggle between school and sysadmin job in a small hosting[4]/shell[5] company. (We currently work on the website.) I (co)administer 5 machines, 4 Debian ones (2x hosting, Nagios, and Xen) and 1 Gentoo one (shell). If I become a TU I would be interested in adopting simple-scan and mpdscribble in [community]. That's all, I hope I mentioned everything.

mrjob - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52761 Please remove. I've just created this package, before figuring out that python2-mrjob is probably a better name.

Hi, please remove python-libchamplain https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40969 It was needed by kismon only, but is not anymore. As 0.6.1, the latest version supporting python is outdated and pretty old (0.12 is out), it should be removed I think. Thanks, Max

Hi, The package "minted" [1] does not build and minted.sty is actually provided by texlive-latexextra. Another package called "latex-minted" was actually deleted in March for the same reason [2]. Thanks in advance!
