Hi, Recently I'm interested in packaging for Arch, because some applications I used aren't in the repositories. Before Arch, I packaged a private .deb for my work, finally I sweat a lot and I couldn't remember exactly what I did, but i did it. So, I discover the Arch way to package and in few minutes my package was at AUR, I was so happy! So, now my contributions with PKGBUILDs are 16 [4] and growing. I'm packaging some stuff's that i have not found in repositories and these are helpful for some people. I'm also adopting some to help the number of orphans be lower. So, as a TU, my plans are help manage AUR and community repo, also trying alert the contributors about problems with their PKGBUILDs, because many packages are out of date for a long time or with incomplete PKGBUILDs or incorrect. I want to help with some security apps too (my major contribution was snort package, hdoria adopted it in extra), helping to make more eyes at the security topic.
I haven't looked into your packages yet but I assume them to be damn good if you have two sponsors ;) What I was wondering, do you have any set of packages in mind you want to move to [community]? Ronald
