*sigh* I dreaded having to write this message. If anyone has noticed, I've been inactive in the Arch community for at least two or three weeks now, and my TU duties haven't been fulfilled in at least as long, if not more.
With the start of the academic year, I was hopeful for enough spare time to continue what I enjoy (TU-ing, hobbies, both computer and non-computer related) ~ looks like I was sorely mistaken. Operating on the minimum amount of sleep that a human can survive on is not enjoyable, in case you were wondering.
All laziness and time-lacking aside, both of my production machines have been fried due to power surges (which components, I yet don't know), and are now reduced to nothing more than fancy metal boxes. This leaves me with an old Thinkpad, but that's not even running Arch at the moment (/heresy), and it's a P4, so trying to manage multicore packages from there would be a no-go. It's just a very frustrating time, and I don't feel that I'm capable of being an active package maintainer considering the circumstances. Hopefully I can reapply sometime in the future if things fall back into place.
My packages are, as far as I know, *mostly* up-to-date, although a month's absence can create a bit of mayhem. I will try my best to contribute and close out any open bug reports that I may be assigned to, but I can't make any definite promises.
It's been a nice run guys, I hope to see you 'round.
Sincerely, Brad
p.s. there were some personal issues as well, but I don't really feel the need to get into those here ~ we can let Xyne speculate with one of his riveting stories Brad, I'm sorry to hear that.
Hopefully you'll find some time again in the future. The computer stuff for packaging should be a problem we could easily sort out though as we have a fast buildbox. Wish you all the best. -- Sven-Hendrik
