[aur-general] TU Application: Lukas Fleischer
Hi! My name is Lukas Fleischer, I'm a 20-year-old student from Germany, studying Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart, freelance web-developper, IT consultant and hobbyist DJ. I've been using GNU/Linux for about three years (used OpenBSD and FreeBSD before) and Arch Linux probably for about two years. Since then, Arch Linux has become my Desktop distribution of choice being installed and used on four of my workstations and one server (i686 as well as x86_64, one box using [testing] and [community-testing] repos). Besides Arch Linux, I'm still using Debian, Gentoo and *BSD as server distributions/OS. I'm a hardcore CLI user (zsh, tmux, mutt, irssi, mplayer, calcurse just rock!), experienced programmer (10+ years) specialized in Perl, C and Assembly and, as I already said, web-developper (PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL). As I read about Loui looking for help with the AUR multiple times on aur-dev, I thought I'd just give a try and apply for TU. My main interests would be to help out with AUR development (just check some of the patches I sent to aur-dev) and AUR cleanups (you might e.g. want to have a look at aurdupes [1] and some of my mails to aur-general), double-check popular AUR packages, and, of course, to maintain a couple of packages in [community] including remuco, redshift, tinyproxy, mixxx (I'd also like to see xwax in [community] but sadly, it's not really popular), pytyle, optionally surf and tabbed and maybe some of the OpenSync stuff (I'm still trying to get it work with calcurse and my Symbian phone). I currently maintain 22 packages in the AUR [2] and previously maintained some other packages that have been moved to [community] (e.g. perl-datetime-format-iso8601, perl-task-weaken, winetricks). You might also want to check my "archlinux-packages" GIT repository [3] which is (almost) always up-to-date. If you check some of the PKGBUILDs you might notice that I care about consistency and conformity with standards (although not all of the packages might stick to that, especially virtualbox_bin still looks kinda ugly and contains some legacy stuff). I'd really appreciate any kind of positive criticism and improvement suggestions as regards that! Well, if there are any questions left, feel free to ask. And before I forget, Loui has agreed to be my sponsor :) Regards, Lukas [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40869 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=cryptocrack [3] http://git.cryptocrack.de/?p=archlinux-packages.git;a=summary

<offtopic> Wasn't it the case that in most cases the TUs can bring stuff to [community] as they see fit, even if its not got very many votes? Obviously for 'normal' packages, not 2 GB ones =) </offtopic>

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines "Only 'popular' packages may enter the repo, as defined by 1% usage from pkgstats or 10 votes on the AUR." :-) I don't think that holds true for dependencies of a package. Don't quote me on that though.

Yes, just read a bit further down (the part about exceptions to this rule): "dependencies of packages who satisfy the definition of popular, including makedeps and optdeps" :)

optionally surf
How would you deal with config.h? To me surf should stay in AUR because of that. -- Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis

It's still quite easy to build custom packages that are in [community], e.g. using the ABS [1]. You could use something like the following command to sync PKGBUILDs from the repositories, edit your "config.h" and build a new package (assuming that abs/sudo packages are installed, "$HOME/builds" is an existing directory and the EDITOR environment variable is set correctly): `pkgname=surf; sudo abs community/$pkgname && cp -r /var/abs/community/$pkgname/ $HOME/builds && cd $HOME/builds/$pkgname && $EDITOR config.h; makepkg -is` Of course, you can also do this step-by-step or write a wrapper script if that looks too complicated to you... If you ever used the dwm package from [community], the same thing is done there :) Well, anyways, I'm still thinking about if it's worth it... This is actually the reason I said I might *optionally* pull it into [community]. Any other opinions? [1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Arch_Build_System

Your suggestion works for me, so I will be happy to let you take over the package. Good luck with your application! -- Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis

Yep! I fully endorse Lukas' application. He has shown interest in development of the AUR and seems to be quite aware and skilled in those areas. I'm really happy someone is finally showing that initiative, and I would gladly welcome him into the team.

horay, lets break the ice. I know Lukas for some time and we talk in the past about packaging and how can we improve different packages, virtualbox-ose and virtualbox_bin without duplicating stuff and some other things that i don't really remember now. I'm really happy that he step up to join our team. -- Ionuț
