2008/5/4 Geoffroy Carrier :

Hi!

My name is Geoffroy Carrier. I'm a 20-year-old French comp.sci. student.

I started using Linux on 1998, and Archlinux around a year ago, after a lot of Debian, some Gentoo and Fedora, and tests of many other distributions. I now use it on all my 6 computers, from the server to the eeepc. I've been available for more than 50 weeks per year for the last 3 years.

My main subjects of interest are: - community64 - The-Unix-way console-based tools - Server-oriented tools - Security issues

I'll focus on adopting orphaned packages in a first time, but there are plenty of packages that I'd like to work on, as localepurge, wol, btanks, docutils, aur-sync, etc.

I'm working on automated makedepends checks with a tool using nilfs called mdma. I'll give you some more information soon.

I also joined uArch recently, and follow kdemod with much intereset.

I already created/adopted a few packages: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=gcarrier&PP=40

I speak a poor English, so I'll keep this message short ;) But I am willing to answer all your questions. A big "Thank you" to the people I recently met through flyspray, IRC, jabber and who confirmed me in my will to apply.

Do you have a sponsor? If not, I'm proud to sponsor you. I've looked some of your packages, I've see your skill with sed & co. and your PKGBUILDs looks good. We need a lot of 64bit Trusted User :) A question: Do you have only x86-64 as hardware or you have both 32 and 64 bit?

I have 2 x86-64 (core 2 duo @ 2ghz, athlon64 x2 @ ~2ghz) + 3 i686 (core duo @ 2ghz, core solo @ 1 ghz, celeron m @ 900mhz), and a zonbu i only use for multimedia playback (via c7 @ 1.2ghz). Plus 32 bits chroot on one of my x86_64, but I remember it may cause problems with gcc.

Sounds great!

From now you have a sponsor :)

Let's discussion period start!

Had a quick look at some of your packages and saw nothing but cosmetic changes needed (you can delete an empty depends array). Saw same good use of custom license. I think you will make a good TU. BTW, you have too many computers and I will accept charity! Cheers, Allan
