[aur-general] TU Resignation
Hi, With the heavy university load I will have this semester, I don't think I'll manage to keep up with the mailing list and updating packages. I have mostly stopped using Linux altogether, and the install that I do have is a bit of a mess, so maintaining packages has become more of a nuisance than something I enjoy. I wanted to become a TU mainly to learn the workflow of a TU and generally just find out how the AUR works from the perspective of a TU, in order to develop AUR2. I think I have mostly done that, but AUR2 development has ceased. Hopefully I (or someone else ;) ) will pick it up and finish it off. I just don't have the time right now. Luckily I don't have many packages in community. I didn't really get around to moving the ones I wanted from unsupported to community. The ones that are there are free for the taking, if anyone wants them. If not, I can move them to unsupported and try to keep maintaining them, or orphan them. I will try to maintain the ones in unsupported, they don't get updates very frequently (or at all). The packages in community are: dbhub dina-font offlineimap

Best of luck with your studies, and I'm sure you'll be back! You are right in that sometimes building a package just seems like a chore ... especially if there are real life issues that take priority. I've started looking at automating the package building process so that I can keep up (my third year in uni is starting this month!) Thanks for all your work. Cheers, Abhishek

Oh man, I do understand you so much! In 3 weeks I have my last Uni exams and I'm also pretty under pressure. I wish you luck in everything you do and look forward to see you back, when you have more time again :) ...snip...

Adopted dina-font. That might be the package I use the more (font under rxvt-unicode AND gvim AND IDEs...)! -- Geoffroy Carrier
