Hello,
My name is Imanol Celaya, I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Electrical Engineering in Bilbao, Spain. On the forums and irc you can find me as ornitorrincos.
I started on linux on 2003 and first used fedora core, then debian and finally arch since late 2006 testing some more like gentoo, solaris, and openbsd on dual boot. a bit later I got involved in the Spanish arch community translating the docs and one iso installer. I'm also developing pyalpm [http://pyalpm.sourceforge.net] (not the 2005's attempt using ctype, but using distutils) I'm also one of the developers of the bot on #archlinux-es [github.com/ornitorrincos/archinator].
Very cool, I didn't know about pyalpm, but now that I do I'll have a look at it some day. I was working on something similar for Lua, but never got anywhere. Seems you haven't made a PKGBUILD for it, would make it easier to install... *hint* ;)
As you can see with some of my packages [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=ornitorrincos] I'm interested in packaging for arch some developer tools(as NetBSD's make and the TenDRA C compiler, svn at the moment as the latest "stable" release is from 1998 but I wouldn't mind try to package it if somebody wants it), of course, I'd be interested in packaging some more C/C++ compilers(which are not gcc, variety is a good thing), I'm also interested in python, EDA software and 3d apps. If possible I also plan to package some GPGPU software.
You should check out llvm and llvm-based compilers, like clang (C/C++/Obj-C)... I did an attempt but their build process is a bit odd, and clang hasn't been "released" yet, just lives in svn.
I have both a x86_64 machine and a i686 machine with arch installed.
On my free time I like to go out with some friends, see a movie or do 3d modeling.
I've been some time wanting to be a TU and angvp told me that when I feel prepared I could ask him to be my sponsor, and as today I feel prepared to apply angvp is my sponsor.
Greetings,
Imanol
Had a quick look at some of your packages, they look fine (other than some small things that Stefan pointed out). -- Anders Bergh
