[aur-general] TU Application
Hello,
My name is Imanol Celaya, I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Electrical Engineering in Bilbao, Spain. On the forums and irc you can find me as ornitorrincos.
I started on linux on 2003 and first used fedora core, then debian and finally arch since late 2006 testing some more like gentoo, solaris, and openbsd on dual boot. a bit later I got involved in the Spanish arch community translating the docs and one iso installer. I'm also developing pyalpm [http://pyalpm.sourceforge.net] (not the 2005's attempt using ctype, but using distutils) I'm also one of the developers of the bot on #archlinux-es [github.com/ornitorrincos/archinator].
As you can see with some of my packages [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=ornitorrincos] I'm interested in packaging for arch some developer tools(as NetBSD's make and the TenDRA C compiler, svn at the moment as the latest "stable" release is from 1998 but I wouldn't mind try to package it if somebody wants it), of course, I'd be interested in packaging some more C/C++ compilers(which are not gcc, variety is a good thing), I'm also interested in python, EDA software and 3d apps. If possible I also plan to package some GPGPU software.
I have both a x86_64 machine and a i686 machine with arch installed.
On my free time I like to go out with some friends, see a movie or do 3d modeling.
I've been some time wanting to be a TU and angvp told me that when I feel prepared I could ask him to be my sponsor, and as today I feel prepared to apply angvp is my sponsor.
Greetings,
Imanol

As he said, I told him 'apply when you feel ready to do it', he will be a good addition to our team, so i am pleased to sponsor him, guys like ornitorrincos are always needed in a team.
Let's start the discussion period.

Very cool, I didn't know about pyalpm, but now that I do I'll have a look at it some day. I was working on something similar for Lua, but never got anywhere.
Seems you haven't made a PKGBUILD for it, would make it easier to install... *hint* ;)

You should check out llvm and llvm-based compilers, like clang (C/C++/Obj-C)... I did an attempt but their build process is a bit odd, and clang hasn't been "released" yet, just lives in svn.

Had a quick look at some of your packages, they look fine (other than some small things that Stefan pointed out).
4l: Dependency to gcc is not needed, it is in base-devel, and you have a mkdir -p which should be a install -d
You can consider to replace $startdir/src with $srcdir and $startdir/pkg with $pkgdir in some PKGBUILDS.
Now that I look more thoroughly it seems that 4L is only dynamically linked to lightscribe, but I have to look better at it.
$srcdir and $pkgdir done
Can you please explain what EDA and GPGPU means? I did a little googling, but the pages I found go far beyond my skills in computer science. Do you have some projects for packaging in mind in that direction?
EDA stands for Electronic Design Automation which is basically programs to design and usually test electronic circuits .
GPGPU is General Purpose GPU which allows to use the GPU as a kind of CPU, they must be programmed differently, an example of this could be nvidia CUDA, amd/ati close to metal, or use OpenGL's GLSL (GL Shader Language) vendor neutral in theory.
Seems you haven't made a PKGBUILD for it, would make it easier to install... *hint* ;)
It just recently got to a somewhat "usable" status in which segmentation faults are not the norm. I could always do a svn package though.

interesting, I'll look at it.

As you like Python, I'd suggest "pygpu" too.
I sadly currently don't own a GPGPU-capable graphics card.
You can contact me if you need any help with your packages.

Hi Imanol!

Angel tell me about your hacker skills, nice meet you. Your nickname is funny. =)

I've think in make some like pyalpm to our little software pacupdate. I'll take a look at this as soon I can.

When I saw your packages, the only thing I saw was the $pkgdir, $srcdir, variables to be used. But, Stefan wrote about that before, so... Some time ago i read about this GPGPU project. I don't remember if is the same, but the ideia is right. The GPU's can have a lot of processing power than normal CPU's. But, we'll need rebuild the actual arch's to do it...

He just tends to exagerate :)

porting arch would be something impossible as GPU's need to be programmed specially(more like the Cell for example than an actual x86 CPU) using Stream computing, I just plan to package if I can libraries and maybe some app
