[aur-general] TU Application - Ghost1227
Hello again. For those of you who missed my greetings email, my name is Dan Griffiths and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US. I have been using one form of *NIX or another for most of my life, wandering through MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Gentoo and even two home made distros before finally finding Arch about a year ago. I instantly fell in love with Arch and haven't looked back once. I am currently maintaining 32 packages in the AUR, including one of my own (co-written) scripts. I go by the name Ghost1227 on the bugtracker, AUR, Wiki and on IRC. I have spent the last year getting to know Arch and learning from (as well as trying to assist) the community as a whole, and would now appreciate the opportunity to give something back to that community. Loui Chang (Louipc) has offered to sponsor me, and for that he has my thanks. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Dan Griffiths, aka Ghost1227 Apologies if this posts twice, I'm having issues with my email atm...

Indeed I am sponsoring this fine candidate for a position as a Trusted User. His PKGBUILDs are impeccable I think. Let's begin the five day discussion period!

from what I've seen from you on the irc is good that you apply, just one note, on some of your PKGBUILD you only have arch=('i686'), if it doesn't work on 64bits it would be good if you inidcated it on a comment, something like arch=('i686') # doen't work on x86_64
The ones that aren't marked for x86_64 may well work, I just have no way of testing them at the moment... my 64 machine fried a few weeks ago and I can't afford to replace it yet. If someone is able to testbuild them for me, I would appreciate it. Imanol Celaya wrote:

It's up to someone to test it on x86_64 and tell him if it works. There's no point in listing what it doesn't work on. Say it didn't work on x86_64, ppc, arm, mips, ...

Hi! I liked your attitude in your previous mails you did send to this list. Good to see someone found some time to check you PKGBUILDs and sponsor you. Just had a quick look at some of your packages, only saw some minor things. - try to use install instead if cp when possible so you can make sure the files will have the correct permissions - in some packages you create a file in /usr/bin from within the PKGBUILD. At least in some packages it seems you could accomplish the same result with just a simple symlink. If it is not possible for some package it would be better IMO to just add an executable to the source array and install it. That's it. Ronald
