Hello everyone. I'm interested in becoming a TU. Thotypous has agreed to be my sponsor. My current goals are: 1 - Doing my best to help in improving the AUR. Maintain my packages in good condition and encourage people to keep packages in AUR; 2 - I want to improve my knowledge related to ArchLinux and to help colleagues using Arch; 3 - I'd like to participate actively in decisions regarding to Arch; 4 - Representing Arch and talking about its philosophy and tools in events about Free Software. I currently maintain 21 packages in AUR (my user is corvolino). I'm already an Arch user for about 3 years. I use Linux since 2005. Since then, I have learned a lot with research, forums and friends. I'm a member of Arch Linux Brazil since the end of last year, where I already help with packages, documentation and translation. I also helped with documentation and support in other distributions I've used. For those who don't know me, I'm participatory and I'll always do what I can to help Arch Linux. Thanks for all those helped me so far, corvolino. -- corvolino ~ Linux User #459152 Blog - http://corvolinopunk.wordpress.com Archlinux-br Developer Team

I had a quick skim of your PKGBUILDs in the AUR. A couple of comments: 1) do not use specific sourceforge mirrors; use downloads.sourceforge.net instead (e.g. pidgin-festival) 2) you should use srcdir/pkgdir instead of startdir/ but I notice some PKGBUILDs do this so maybe it is is transition thing. 3) you can use "install -Dm" instead of "install -d" followed by "install -m" Other than that, you PKGBUILDs all look fine. I didn't notice anything very complicated in my quick skim through (no patching etc). Good luck, Allan

But it was not your packages I reviewed... Please start a new thread if you want to discuss you application. This one is for corvolino. Allan

A few notes on your PKGBUILDs - url is a string, not an array (amule-upnp) - package description should not start with pkgname (baltazar, dirac-codec) - you can use $pkgname-$pkgver in source array, makes maintenance easier (cpuspeed) - backup array has preceding slashes (cpuspeed) - if you put a package in depends, there is no need to put it in makedepends as well (rtpproxy) - putting in '|| return 1' would be nice here (wireless-applet); this is especially important when you'll include patches. -- Abhishek

Marcelo Cavalcante

1:38 p.m.

Another point... You should keep other contributor's names in the package. You adopted the packages, right?! As I could see, you have packages from 2007 for example. And you had just put your name as the only one who contributed for the package. :/ When you adopt a package, you should put your name and keep the others. best regards --- - °v° Marcelo Cavalcante Rocha / Kalib - /(_)\ Usuário Linux #407564 / Usuário Asterisk #1148 - ^ ^ GNU-Linux - Livre, Poderoso e Seguro - TUX-CE Member - www.tux-ce.org - Archlinux-br Developer Team - http://archlinux-br.org - http://www.marcelocavalcante.net On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 5:43 AM, Abhishek Dasgupta wrote:

Awesome. You forgot amule-upnp though! The url should be a string rather than an array. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amule-upnp/amule-upnp/PKGBUILD You should also describe exactly what is different about this package compared to the stock amule package. Cheers!

I guess you should keep working for now. Improving your skills, etc.. I think you're doing a great job but need to practice and improve it more to become a TU. IMHO, off course.

For what it's worth, I agree with this. Anyone contributing only 20 packages, containing some fairly elementary mistakes, surely isn't yet TU material.

Hi all. I'd like to thank you for all your suggestions. Some mails made me open my eyes, then I perceived that this is not the right moment for becoming a TU. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. I hope to study more, prepare more, to soon come and apply again for TU. Thanks. 2009/7/6 Chris Giles
