Servus Peter! 👋 Servus!
Following packages from the AUR, I would like to maintain in the Arch Linux repository: - scx-scheds (as soon as the sched-ext framework is merged in the mainline kernel) - libpfm (this needs to be discussed with the linux-tools maintainer) - contour - libunicode (dependecy for contour) - boxed-cpp (dependecy for contour) - virtme-ng - llvm-bolt - ananicy-cpp PKGBUILDs generally look good and according to the guidelines. One thing I noticed was that you still source explicit commits for VCS packages instead of pkgver-tags, e.g. in libpfm:
_commit=d77461cb966259c51f3b3e322564187f4bef7fb' source=$pkgname::git+https://git.code.sf.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4#commit=$_commit") b2sums=4380f73..')
This is no longer required since support for VCS checksums was added to pacman - the above can be replaced with:
source=$pkgname::git+https://git.code.sf.net/p/perfmon2/libpfm4#tag=v$pkgver") b2sums=otherchecksum..') Thank you for your review. I will look into these and will adjust the
If there are any other packages that currently lack maintenance and need some help, I'm open to maintaining these. There sure are, but they're not always so easy to identify, the following pages might give you some ideas of where there is opportunity help out:
- Orphaned packages [0]. - Open todos [1]. - Long-out-of-date packages [2]. Thanks, 'll look into these, when the time comes. :)
My sponsors are Christian "gromit" Heusel and Bert "bertptrs" Peters. Thanks for guiding me through the application process as well as the nice talk with each other.
Best regards,
Peter "ptr1337" Jung All in all, congratulations on a very well-written application. I think you have an impressive track-record and will make a addition to our distribution.
Wish you all the best in the application process, good luck! :)
