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].
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.
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
Hello,
I had a quick look on some of your packages. They are formally well written IMHO.
4l: Dependency to gcc is not needed, it is in base-devel, and you have a mkdir -p which should be a install -d
Are you sure the dependency is on gcc and not on gcc-libs?
You can consider to replace $startdir/src with $srcdir and $startdir/pkg with $pkgdir in some PKGBUILDS.
But that are minor issues.
Can you please explain what EDA and GPGPU means? I did a little googling, but the pages I found go far beyond my skills in computer science. Do you have some projects for packaging in mind in that direction?
Regards Stefan
