[aur-general] TU application
Hi, I've been asked a few times to apply as a TU and finally decided to do so ;). My name is Florian Pritz, I'm from Austria, 18 years old and I've been using Arch for something like 2 years and a few weeks. Before that I've sometimes tried OpenSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu and Gentoo, but after a few hours/days switched back to Windows. Currently I have 5 boxes running arch, 1 (desktop) testing, 3 servers (2 at home), 1 laptop (my father's). I'm mainly active in #archlinux.de, but also sometimes helping out on bugday. I'm a quite experienced PHP and shell programmer and some time ago I started with perl, which is really cool thanks to CPAN and bauerbill. My C and python skills are somewhat basic, but enough to find and fix some bugs. Currently I have 27 packages in the AUR [1], some even having > 40 votes and I'd like to bring those to community. Quite a lot of them still have "|| return 1", but I'm removing those whenever there are updates available. One of my servers is used for webhosting, myqsl, mail and a few shell accounts and I'd like to help update some of the software that's running on this box (most of it is from extra though :( ). Sometimes I'm rebuilding stuff like mysql, php, dovecot or postfix because of security advisories, but most of the time the you guys are faster. A small side project of mine is a pastebin/file upload service [2] written in PHP, using pygments for highlighting and memcached to reduce the load. [3] Thorsten Töpper asked me to become a TU and also wants to sponsor me. Thanks. If you want to know more, please ask. I'm not a good story writer ;) [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=bluewind [2] http://paste.xinu.at [3] http://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/filebin -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

I've seen you around in the pacman-dev lists and have taken a look at your popular AUR packages. If Chris didn't sponsor you, I would. Good luck! -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

s/Chris/Thorsten/ I think I should leave computers and any machine with a keyboard alone for today; making too many typos. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

Hi Florian! running namcap on your AUR packages gives this output: PKGBUILD (blazeblogger-git) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg PKGBUILD (extract) W: Description should not contain the package name. PKGBUILD (glark) W: Description should not contain the package name. PKGBUILD (mbuffer) E: Use $srcdir instead of $startdir/src PKGBUILD (mbuffer) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg PKGBUILD (perl-mail-checkuser) W: Missing Maintainer tag PKGBUILD (portbunny) E: Use $pkgdir instead of $startdir/pkg PKGBUILD (spampd) E: File referenced in $startdir Besides that, I feel informed enough about you. Good luck! Jaroslav

"extract" is used in a different context

This package doesn't build anymore with recent kernels (and breaks with nearly every update), but I'll fix that if upstream decides to work on it again.
PKGBUILD (spampd) E: File referenced in $startdir
I use startdir here to generate a ChangeLog. If there is a better way I'd like to know. Or should I just forget that as nearly nobody else uses them?
Besides that, I feel informed enough about you. Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

Oh, fast response! The generated ChangeLog is not included in the package, so why bothering with generating it to the startdir anyway? Either put it in a directory like /usr/share/doc/spampd/ or delete the whole line.

Thanks for your feedback.

Okay reread the manpage and noticed I forgot to set the changelog variable. Removed it for now. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

The changelog variable is meant to be used for a ChangeLog listing changes made to the PKGBUILD and other build files, not the upstream ChangeLog. If you want the upstream ChangeLog to be installed, IMO it would be better to put it in /usr/share/doc/spampd/

Look at man PKGBUILD and the changelog variable. Allan
