Hi Everyone!
My name is Andrew Crerar (aka andrewSC) and I'm applying to become a Trusted User. Big thanks to Johannes Löthberg for being my sponsor! :)
At the moment I'm a Research Software Engineer at The Laboratory for Analytic Sciences [1] where I primarily write Python 3.x (in combination with various other tech like nginx, gunicorn, elasticsearch, etc.) for the prototypes we're building here. Prior to working at the lab I was a Software Engineer and Computer Scientist at Adobe Inc. [2] where I lead and managed the development of Custom Creative Networks [3] (primarily PHP with some JS heavy elements) on the Behance [4] team. My Bachelor's degree is in Computer Science which I received from The Rochester Institute of Technology [5].
I've been using Arch Linux since 2008-2009ish and have seen it grow into something incredible. Over the past several years I've picked up a handful of packages [6] in the AUR which I enjoy maintaining. I also participate in package signoffs for [core], [extra], and [community]. I wish to grow my ability to contribute by becoming more involved in maintaining and managing the AUR while also making contributions to [community] where appropriate.
Nice to see you applying, and good luck! :)
Thanks :)
Some quick comments on your AUR packages, but they basically look fine.
git-git: - consider adding the latest systemd service changes from [extra]/git
Done.
- Why does this depend on glib2-git
Initially it was because Namcap reported that glib2-git (which provided libgobject-2.0.so.0 and libglib-2.0.so.0) was needed for the files git-core/git-credential-libsecret and git-core/git-credential-gnome-keyring. Honestly it didn't need to be glib2-git as glib2 from [core] would work just as well in providing those libs. Seeing as libsecret from [core] has a dependency on glib2 I'll take glib2-git out and put libsecret in the optdepends array.
- why are libgnome-keyring and libsecret hard dependencies for people not using those helpers?
You're right, these should be optdepends. Also I took the liberty of removing libgnome-keyring as it's deprecated [1].
- Why go to all that extra effort to create a sysusers configuration when the benefit of using sysusers is removed by the need to set a login shell... which you do not add to /etc/shells? In the event that the sysusers configuration is ever made use of, the shell will still need to be fixed.
I double checked this one and I am adding git-shell to /etc/shells within the install file [2]. This is the same behavior as git in [extra] [3].
gtk4-git: - url redirects to HTTPS version, this is really an [extra] issue
Fixed.
opencv-git: - url redirects to HTTPS version, this is really an [extra] issue
Fixed.
- The repo package has hdf5 as a makedepends/optdepends, why is this a depends? More importantly... why is it also still an optdepends?
I dug around a bit and found this ticket [4] where it seems if you didn't have hdf5 as a makedepends, then the build would fail (I personally don't think it should have failed given the documentation [5]). This really should be optdepends now since you can build without it. Fixed. I also took the liberty of adding opencv-samples to the conflicts array (since opencv-git provides samples without the split package).
ttf-google-fonts-git: - `install -dm755 ...; install -Dm644 ...;` is kind of like sprinkling your code with `sleep 1`
Fixed.
- Instead of copying licenses to a per-font subdirectory, I would use LICENSE.$fontname
Fixed.
vlc-git: - Mercy on your soul for having the bravery to touch VLC, I'm skipping this one. :D Nothing jumps out at me anyway.
