[aur-general] TU Application
Morning gentleman, I would like to post here my TU application. My name is Marcos A G. Piccinini, I`m brazilian, 23 years old and I love Archlinux since somewhere in 2007 (yea.. at first sight). My contribution so far: * 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx * Started (to be finished) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchTrack * PT-BR Translation - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guia_do_Iniciante%28Português_do_Brasil%29 * Often on freenode`s ##arch-br channel helping my fellow mates. * Made ppl use archlinux. Made my mom use archlinux! (and she loves it, with 128x128px icons on the desktop: internet, write, freecell. Sometimes she wonders about that black command line when the "internets are broken" and she still calls the OS 'computer' but..... =). There was this time too, I`ve hold a gun to a guys head until the installation was complete. Jokes apart, I`m not an expert or guru and that`s not much, but I wish to help, to contribute and learn with this community .... Thank you for your time,
And I should RTFM..... I`ll find a sponsor. Beg ur guys pardon. On Aug 18, 2008, at 6:39 AM, Marcos Piccinini wrote:

Hi Marcos (nofxx), Good to see another brazilian here. :) I've looked at your packages and, in general, they seem ok. I think only some cosmetic changes could be made. Use pkgdir instead of startdir/pkg and srcdir instead of startdir/src, add single quotes in provides/conflicts array and fix some indentation problems. But, as i said, these are just cosmetic changes.
From what you said in your main contribution has actually been with packages. As TU you just want to work as a packager or do you have other goals?

Hey Hugo,

Thanks. Will do it.

Yea, packager... and also translate, test.. evangelize I`m a web developer, I can help with the websites too, if needed. Add a .htaccess to the wiki, so we can call wiki/page instead of index.php?Page is something I`ve been wondering for quite some time....heh....

Both.
* 16 pkts - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=nofxx I haven't looked at all of them yet, but you should use `install' instead of cp and mkdir; for example in the wyd PKGBUILD.
You should also not use provides= and conflicts= for basic packages. Only use it if it's a replacement. It makes no sense for package `foo' to provide foo and conflict with foo. You would use this in the case of foo-svn; it could provide and conflict foo. Aside: We should perhaps add a namcap rule for this. You can also remove the empty install= variable. The only ones required when empty are source and md5sums.
