[aur-general] TU Application - Sebastian Nowicki
Hi, my name is Sebastian Nowicki. You may know me as Xilon from IRC, the bbs, AUR, or even the bug tracker. I am a 19 year old Computer Science and Internet Computing student. I have been using Archlinux for just over a year. I have been supporting other Archlinux users over the past year on the IRC channel, where I am now an operator. For the past 4 months I have also been coding AUR2, which some of you may know. I maintain 13 package in unsupported, and have had one package (powertop) taken to community. I also maintained gtkdc and dclibc, but due to the projects dieing upstream, I recently orphaned them. Having an AMD64 processor I will be able to compile both i686 and x86_64 packages. I have already setup the necessary chroots in order to do so. As a TU I would initially move the following packages to community: * btg * dbhub * dina-font * grc * screenwm * subtle These packages aren't very active upstream in terms of development, so I will probably be able to take on more packages from unsupported, or even from sergej ;). Callan mentioned that he would sponser me.

What? You're not a developer yet?! I'm shocked! --vk

Hah, thought the same :D When reading xilon - silence - isn't that the one who develops aur2? How can't he be a TU/dev yet...

I've been talking to him about this for a while, I think Sebastian's packages in the AUR are solid and I'm happy to sponsor him as a TU. -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett

Ah, that's why your nick is so familiar to me. :-) Good work on AUR2!
I maintain 13 package in unsupported, and have had one package (powertop) taken to community. I also maintained gtkdc and dclibc, but due to the projects dieing upstream, I recently orphaned them. Having an AMD64 processor I will be able to compile both i686 and x86_64 packages. I have already setup the necessary chroots in order to do so.
As a TU I would initially move the following packages to community:
* btg * dbhub * dina-font I use Dina from proggyfonts.com on WinXP (yeah, I do some cross-platform programming as a hobby). Didn't know it exists also for X. :-) (BTW, why is it installed in /usr/share/fonts/local?)
* grc * screenwm * subtle
These packages aren't very active upstream in terms of development, so I will probably be able to take on more packages from unsupported, or even from sergej ;).

I've reviewed some of your packages and they are fine for me. (the only notice is that x86_64 should be added because it seems none of them are i686-only, and license is an array so it should be license=('GPL')) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

I wasn't sure where to put them, but I remembered that terminus was installed there so I just followed suite.

I thought I fixed them all up, I'll go through them again.
