Hi,
Hi,
Currently I'm using Archlinux as my primary operating system for over 6 years and for several years I'm maintaining a small number of packages in AUR[1]. I also keep a repository with arch packages for everyone to use[2] and view the pkgbuilds on github[3]. Originally the repository got created so i could easily install some non-{core,extra,community}-packages on my different computers.
You are my kind of man. I'm doing an awesome team with arch veterans to fight against systemd & co and keep arch in the way is it now. It will be cool to have it near me! :)
Big +1 from me
i would not want to start a flame war here, since this smells alot like: - vim vs emacs - kde vs gnome - ... everyone has his/her preferences and i would not have it any other way, since the diversity an the choice offered towards us (if you are, developer, tu, server end user, desktop end user) is what makes this distributions ecosystem worthwile. the drive for stability should not put a brake on new technologies. let us have a nice combined effort and have a choice, that is for me at least one of the reasons for using ArchLinux and for keep on using it.
Some personal stuff: born 1982, webdeveloper (php, with some jquery tricks), mad about all sorts of metal music, and loving to watch movies and sitcoms. I live in Belgium so I should speak at least Dutch, French and German but i speak and write Dutch, English, bad French, very bad German.
I would like to become a TU for several reasons:
- bring in some packages from AUR to community - apper (kde packagekit frontend, the gnome/gtk ones are already in) - lcdproc (drive your lcd displays) - closure-{compiler,linter} (googles javascript toys) - vim-qt (or provide a patch for addition to the extra package)
as reference, some packages i was maintaining in AUR were already picked up - clementine (picked up by Stéphane Gaudreault) - par2cmdline (picked up by Sébastien Luttringer)
- pick up some orphans from community - v8 (this is the only one from the list i'm currently using)
- usualy i'm reading most of the issues reported so i could help sorting the "tickets" and assign them to their respective owners
Last but not least, my sponsor is Stéphane Gaudreault.
