Hello, all. :)

My name is Eli Schwartz, better known as eschwartz on the forums[1], AUR[2], bugtracker[3], wiki[4] general mailing lists, IRC, and generally everywhere I can stick my nose in. With the aid of Bartłomiej Piotrowski, I am applying today to become a TU.

I'm 24 years old, and currently studying Computer Science in the United States.

I've been interested in Linux ever since I was first introduced to it in high school, when I asked "what would be the best Linux distro to install if I really want to learn how things work", and I was recommended to try out Arch Linux. It's a choice I haven't regretted since! Outside of Linux my main hobby is books/ebooks (primarily SF&F of all sorts). I have leveraged this nicely to feed back into software which deals with ebooks. :)

...

I've now been an active member of the Arch Linux community for approximately 3.5 years, and in that time I've become a member of the Arch Bug Wranglers team, given an Arch Classroom tutorial[5], contributed a few small patches to various Arch projects, mainly pacman[6], and generally hung out on the forums and in IRC, trying to be helpful. Recently I've been doing a bit of general helping out in #archlinux-reproducible[7] as well.

I've always been especially interested in packaging for Arch Linux, and have reviewed many PKGBUILDs on this mailing list as well as in the AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests subforum and in #archlinux-aur, written a popular script for maintaining AUR packages[8], and featured the topic of packaging for Arch Linux in the above-mentioned Arch Classroom tutorial. I anticipate doing all^W^W^Wmost of this in a somewhat more formal role. :)

I would like to become a TU in order to contribute more to Arch Linux in general (because it would be a shame to miss out on one particular angle I guess). It would also give me more scope to help fix simple packaging bugs that come up on the bugtracker, help resolve some policy TODOs[9], fix packages which no longer build due to e.g. missing sources (many such packages have been discovered in part due to the valiant efforts of Reproducible Arch Linux and Arch Linux 32), and of course to bring some packages to [community] that I feel would do well there.

If given the opportunity, I would consider bringing the following packages to community:

• firefox-extension-https-everywhere (I conmaintain this)
• fanficfare (I maintain this)
• git-crypt
• advancecomp
• llpp
• wikicurses
• ghi
• dtrx
• checkbashisms

I would adopt the cinnamon desktop packages, as faidoc is not very active currently and arojas, who currently builds them, says he'd prefer someone who actually uses it to do so. I've also received permission to comaintain sigil and qbittorrent, as well as calibre and its dependencies (I maintain the -git packages for all three in the AUR, and have contributed most of the calibre PKGBUILD as well).

I'm happy to confirm that I do sponsor Eli's application. Happy discussing!

Bartłomiej

And a signed message for people who care about it.

Discussion period is over, time for the vote.

Link for the lazy: https://aur.archlinux.org/tu/?id=99

The vote has ended as well. TLDR: Eli, welcome aboard!

Results:

Yes: 36 No: 2 Abstain: 2

Eli, please follow steps described here[1]. There is additional documentation[2] that will concern you after you get 3 signatures from master key holders.

And, of course, congratulations!

A few years ago I would have dismissed that as impossible but since then we seem to be living in some sort of alternate crazy reality. At least we would have proof that the universe has changed.

calibre-installer:

• nothing i would call common to enable and start units or timers on install

I think I've had this discussion with someone else before, but my reasons basically boil down to 1) the timer is the main purpose of the package 2) I don't use this myself, I wrote it primarily for users of "stable" distros and was in fact mildly surprised when someone asked me to make an AUR package but whatever. I guess people who are actually likely to use a wrapper for auto-updating an upstream binary will want this. 3) it's not as uncommon as you think, a quick grep through /var/lib/pacman/local/*/install tells me that both pulseaudio and xdg-user-dirs do the same (presumably because the maintainer decided there was sufficient justification).

fanficfare:

• there is an update for 2.20.0

Yes -- on Thursday! I'm catching up to that now, thanks for noticing.

kindletool: kindletool-git:

• its GPL3 license, GPL points to GPL2

Thanks, I probably forgot to check which the default GPL license was when I wrote these, and who really re-checks licenses that basically look okay unless they have some especially motivating reason. :D

git-extras: git-extras-git:

• can't hurt to list some dependencies it uses like gawk etc, makes it work better on install in minimal environments like baremetal containers. at least i would :P

base + mkinitcpio means gawk will always be available, I am loath to add fundamental shell utilities until and unless we develop a cohesive policy about what base means and whether it should be base-system.

Yes, I am one of those people who ascribe to the philosophy of an implicit base group. ;)

kindleunpack:

• GPLv3 is not a valid common license, should be GPL3
• package() could get a --skip-build

Huh... haven't looked at that PKGBUILD in a *while*. Those are both good points. Especially as I typically urge others towards --skip-build myself :D

PS: i *really* hate variables in url= just annoyance -.-*

I guess you've been looking at my vim plugin packages. :D

PPS: good luck

Thanks!
