It's with great sadness that I feel the need to leave my position as a Trusted User in Arch. In the last few months I haven't been able to keep up with my duties, and I feel that resigning is the best thing I can do at the moment, since real life is taking much more time than there is in a day and I can't keep up with the high standards that Arch deserves. I'd like to thank each and everyone at the Arch team, this has been a fun ride and I learned a lot in these years. Hopefully I'll be back contributing someday, maybe not in the same way, but whatever. Surely I'll stick around, however, as much as my free time allows me.
At the moment I own a few dozens of packages in [community], and since I'd like to make the transition as smooth as possible, a little report follows, I marked as OOD the ones which need to be updated, adopt the ones you like. I hope this is helpful.
Take care, Corrado
= AVR packages = The AVR family is badly in need of some love. The wonderful djgera did all the grunt work (see http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-March/008369.html), now someone just has to take these little guys and update them. As with every toolchain, though, there's quite a bit to catch up with, and a whole lot to learn. Not for the faint of heart. * avrdude (OOD) * avr-libc (OOD) * binutils-avr (OOD) * gcc-avr (OOD)
= PulseAudio & friends = These are really popular and still hope to go in [extra], because a lot of [extra] software could depend on them. The pulseaudio PKGBUILD needs some time to become friends with, not mentioning the package configuration, but if you stick to "stable" releases and refuse to patch the hell out of it as its author does in RedHat, you'll be fine. One open bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18527 * pulseaudio * gstreamer0.10-pulse * libao-pulse * libasyncns * padevchooser * paman * paprefs * pavucontrol * pavumeter * rtkit * xmms-pulse
= Eclipse Plug-Ins = Mostly low-maintenance packages, they usually just need a relbump thanks to my super-unreadably-duper-perfectly-working PKGBUILDs. * eclipse-emf: needs to be ported to -any * eclipse-gef (OOD) * eclipse-mylyn (OOD) * eclipse-phpeclipse * eclipse-subclipse (OOD) * eclipse-ve
= {G,W}ammu = A couple of programs to manage cell phones. Not always the easiest of builds but it's been stable for quite some time now. * gammu * wammu
= Gmusicbrowser = My favorite music player, a tricky PKGBUILD (read: do everything by hand) but the developer is very friendly and helpful, and incredibly fast to reply. Optdepends hell. * gmusicbrowser * flac123 * perl-gstreamer * perl-gstreamer-interfaces (OOD) * perl-gtk2-mozembed
= Musepack = Upstream releases are rare and not exactly packager-friendly. * musepack-tools * libcuefile * libreplaygain
= Beast = Hasn't seen a release in ages, but it returned active upstream a few months ago. Usually needs patches. * beast * bse-alsa
= Other = * acerhk: small kernel module, i686-only, no new releases, hassle free, just relbump * freemind: unvaluable mind-mapper, still waiting for the much anticipated 0.9.0, which will most likely arrive with Godot. Easy. * gnormalize: how to kill the unix do-one-thing-n-do-it-well paradigm in one shot. Optdepends hell #2 * gourmet (OOD): a recipe manager. Not that I can cook. * mldonkey: a p2p app for the edonkey network, gave me a few head scratches for the rc script. * opcion: a nice font viewer written in java, unmaintained but working very well. * rss-glx: 3d screen-savers, usually gives a few problems with .desktop files. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18300 * scite (OOD): small text editor with some nice features, could be more friendly. * solfege (OOD): piece of cake! Frequent point releases, the development branch is stable, but I don't remember why I switched to it back in the day. * stress (OOD): small unix utility, clean and easy. * timidity-freepats: hasn't seen a release in ages and probably will be around forever. Zero maintenance, nice to have in repos. Could be ported to -any. * vlock: small unix utility, clean and easy. * wavegain: small util, optdepend for gnormalize * xsensors (OOD): X11 sensor viewing util

I will be adopting these tomorrow if nobody adopt them, (I am not a eclipse-dev but I work with a guy who now is an Archer and he's using eclipse, he could give me a real feedback (like if I will be the user of these packages).
Good luck with your studies and your goals! , ciao!

Sorry to see you go, but at the same time, life has its demands so good luck with whatever you do!
I'll help with the following:

- libreplaygain
- freemind
- gnormalize
- gourmet (OOD)
- solfege (OOD)

Anyone TU that take/rebuild these packages, feel to free to ask me if have some questions/issues. Build order is: binutils-avr, gcc-avr and libc-avr. The avrdude is just like ohers packages.

good luck and take care. is sad to see how the old crew is vanishing.

i'll take this since i'm using it and i want to improve it. also any other packages that are depends to my packages, one that i think is libasyncns

I am really sad to hear that :( You are a good developer and packager. Good luck for everything and see you to next Arch Linux Italia meeting.
Best best regards

Wish you best of luck and look forward to see you back after you learn a little bit better to manage your time! Someone already uncovered the truth before.

I'm sorry to see you go, and I wish you the best of luck, wherever life takes you.

I adopted these two. I can also adopt acerhk if needed. I don't use it, but I did one of the recent updates.
