Hi,

I'd like to apply for the TU position, and as I don't have a sponsor yet it'd be great if somebody would be kind enough to take me on :)

A little bit about myself: I'm 26 and I live close to Vienna, Austria. The past couple of years I've worked as a database developer / consultant, then as a C# programmer (with a couple of additional tasks like building and maintaining our SVN / Trac server). In my free time, I've also been playing around with C++ and Python.

I've been using Arch for around 2 years. I haven't had much linux experience before that - if I remember correctly it was around 1-2 months of Ubuntu and Gentoo. I regularly lurk on the forums and maintain a few packages in AUR ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=schuay ).

Generally, I'm mostly interested in maintaining games. However I'm more than willing to help out where it is needed. Out of my AUR packages, I'd consider taking

firehol, me-tv and stone-soup

to community.

I have a decent pc (3ghz dual core, 6G ram) available to build for both i686 and x86_64.

Look at your packages, they are pretty well maintained except they should be updated in regards to last pacman features (return 1 & missing package() function) Searching a bit on the great internet, i've found some of your contributions. I guess you got the ability to be a good TU. Let me be your Sponsor. Regards, Laurent Carlier

me-tv

Are you really sure that you want to bring THIS package to [community]? I was a former AUR maintainer of this package and orphaned it because it was absolutely impossible to work together with upstream. There have been a lot of bugs - I don't know them exactly anymore - but they made at least a reasonable usage impossible. That's why I, of course, filed a bug report to upstream. And you really don't want to know the following e-mail conversation I had with Michael Lamothe the upstream developer. Well, a part of it took place in the AUR comments. He was really more than impolite, felt hassled by bug reports and feature requests, didn't care about bug reports and feature requests, and only programs for his own purposes. It's a very, very short and polite summary of his own words. Briefly speaking it was no fun or rather impossible maintaining this package and working together with upstream, and me-tv was too buggy. I doubt that all of these bugs are fixed. I'm not sure if you really want to or should bring those problems to the binary repos. But I'm really wondering how Vinzenz and you have been resp. are able to maintaining this package, and how this package could become so many votes. Well, me-tv is principally not bad as long as it works and as long as it has no bugs by chance, or you're not missing a feature. Heiko

How about boost-build? It has 93 votes. But luabind is the first thing I encountered that needs it. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen." Bertolt Brecht, Der gute Mensch von Sezuan
