Dear TUs,
I'm Gaetan, a (discreet) junior dev, mentored by Allan. I recently got access to sigurd and thought I would use that opportunity to maintain in [community] a few packages I have been maintaining on the AUR so far, but which are just a bit too unpopular to go to [extra]:
pari (fast advanced calculator) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19196
dnstracer (DNS diagnosis tool) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3229
collectd (performance collecting daemon) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2341
They have over thirty votes each.
Is it okay by everyone?
Cheers.
You are Devs (kinda), I assume from that, that you are a trustworthy person as the people we all trust(devs) trust you. I see no problem with you maintaining a few packages in [community] as long as you - like this - say what you want to move in or out to/of the repository and wait at least 24h for feedback from TU side. If nothing happens, pick 2 or 3 directly and ask them, they shall just send a public yes or no, the reason can be kept private as long as you know it. If you break something by accident we simply blame Allan as it's common.
