What role would you like to play during the trial period of Martin?
I would like to add, that the last interaction from Giancarlo in our internal channels (e.g. the packaging channel) has been in September of 2023. That is nearly two years and questions since have been left unanswered.
If you are refering to IRC channel, then yes, I haven't joined IRC in a while. But I have interacted on gitlab with many people, including you, and recently.
Giancarlo, to what extend can we expect packaging mentorship, if this has not happened (sufficiently) before Martin has sent his application? From a cursory look, I found a lot of things that should be improved and I am not happy about us now having to do a full review round over everything.
We have an active place where me, Tomaz and Martin are discussing this and fixing issues.
I'm asking this especially with regards to your packages maintained/ out-of-date ratio vs. actual last packager 83/9/5 [1]. E.g. even the latest package uploaded by you ("mkinitcpio-utils", for which you are also the upstream) doesn't follow RFC 0016 which has been readily integrated in pkgctl for a long time.
Personally, I would really like to see an improvement of our package build scripts and metadata.
As I've said to Frederik, I would like to focus on Martin's application. Happy to discuss this on another thread. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
