Hello,
My name is Imanol Celaya, I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Electrical Engineering in Bilbao, Spain. On the forums and irc you can find me as ornitorrincos.
Angel tell me about your hacker skills, nice meet you. Your nickname is funny. =)
I started on linux on 2003 and first used fedora core, then debian and finally arch since late 2006 testing some more like gentoo, solaris, and openbsd on dual boot. a bit later I got involved in the Spanish arch community translating the docs and one iso installer. I'm also developing pyalpm [http://pyalpm.sourceforge.net] (not the 2005's attempt using ctype, but using distutils) I'm also one of the developers of the bot on #archlinux-es [github.com/ornitorrincos/archinator].
I've think in make some like pyalpm to our little software pacupdate. I'll take a look at this as soon I can.
As you can see with some of my packages [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=ornitorrincos] I'm interested in packaging for arch some developer tools(as NetBSD's make and the TenDRA C compiler, svn at the moment as the latest "stable" release is from 1998 but I wouldn't mind try to package it if somebody wants it), of course, I'd be interested in packaging some more C/C++ compilers(which are not gcc, variety is a good thing), I'm also interested in python, EDA software and 3d apps. If possible I also plan to package some GPGPU software.
When I saw your packages, the only thing I saw was the $pkgdir, $srcdir, variables to be used. But, Stefan wrote about that before, so... Some time ago i read about this GPGPU project. I don't remember if is the same, but the ideia is right. The GPU's can have a lot of processing power than normal CPU's. But, we'll need rebuild the actual arch's to do it...
I have both a x86_64 machine and a i686 machine with arch installed.
On my free time I like to go out with some friends, see a movie or do 3d modeling.
I've been some time wanting to be a TU and angvp told me that when I feel prepared I could ask him to be my sponsor, and as today I feel prepared to apply angvp is my sponsor.
Greetings,
Imanol
