Hello.
I`am Mateusz Herych, from Poland. I`am 17 years old and I started with Linux 3 years ago (with Arch 2 years ago). I registrered in AUR in December 2006, partition is my login there. One of my packages has been moved to [community] repo (skype-staticqt). Now I`am maintainer of 15 PKGBUILDs there. Most of them I using by myself. I have some knowledge with C, C++, PHP and bash. I have experience with other project (SCXD - http://scxd.info) where I was a developer. My English is average (I have few gramatical problems, but I understand all).
Why I want to become Trusted User?
Currently I`ve installed Arch on more than 20 machines (many of them are at my school, unfortunately all of them are x86 :( ). I want to give something to this distribution. When I become TU I will move many of my packages to [community] repo, but I will adopt some packages like ircii-pana or idesk. Yes, I know that there are no new versions of them, but many people are using it yet.
I`am trying to help other people on IRC (mostly on Polish channels and networks, but I talking on #archlinux@FreeNode too. My nick is Part` there.). I translated some news from http://archlinux.org to http://archlinux.pl. I promote Arch Linux in my community.
So, I`am looking for someone want be my sponsor. Feel free to ask, if you want.
Regards, Mateusz.
Hello again, I want to complete info about me. My login on SCXD is Heniek, so you can see some of my works here: http://scxd.info/download.php I`ve written some patches for openadduser which is avaiable here: http://heni0.fm.interia.pl/openadduser1.0
Regards.
Okay, I will sponsor Mateusz. This will start a five day discussion period.
I will start with some comments.
Yesterday I had a quick look through some of his packages in AUR. I made a couple of suggestions, which he has quickly applied (except for ngircd which he must have overlooked). Most packages where in good shape however!
I want to emphasize to Mateusz that custom licenses are very important, especially for a TU (read them carefully and see if it allows you to redistribute or not). I'm confident he will take care of this in the future.
One question I do have for Mateusz. Are you confident you can devote enough time to the TU job with all the project you are involved in ?

I`ve overlooked your commend for ngircd. But now all is ok :)

Yes, I`m confident for that. There is only few SlackBuilds on scxd. That doesn`t need much time, really.
Thank you.
My favourite question to everyone applying to become a TU... will you maintain for x86_64 too?

Unfortunely I don`t have any x86_64 machine for now.

There's always Aaron's x86_64 build machine, do you have the time to use that if you become a TU?

That`s fine. So if I get access to this machine, I will support x86_64 architecture too.

I'm not again request of Mateusz (and your sponsorship).. but I want to post this question: Can a fresh (very very fresh :D) TU sponsors requests? I think yes, I don't read anything in bylaws. But.. is it right? Because, I'm sure about the great work that you and Mateusz (if he will be accepted as a TU) will done, but how about a 'testing period'? I'm sure that all of us doesn't born learned ( uhm, english language doesn't give the idea that italian does :P ) and that new TUs need time to learn all TUs functions, starting from bugtracker to all small thing never written but that we daily use.
All that I've written is in my honest opinion, and it is a comment about the _future_ and not for present.

I have a question for Mateusz. I noticed that you review your packages pretty often to correct mistakes and such. This is good. However, the great majority of your packages show pkgrel=1, and I seem to understand that you don't always update that variable.
Take ekg2 as an example. It is currently at 0.1.1. You updated to 0.1 on 2007-08-21, then you updated it again on 2007-10-04 (to 0.1.1, I suppose, since this version was released in September). Finally, the page shows two PKGBUILD fixes in January, but $pkgrel is still 1.
The same applies to other packages of yours. Obviously, I have no way to see if your updates introduced "real" changes (like a change in configuration options, or adding/removing files) or they were just "cosmetic" changes, but anyway, can you explain this?
Thanks, Corrado

There were only cosmetic changes. If it`s really wrong I will fix them in future.
Thanks to Roman for suggestions.

Then no problem with me =) What I was meaning is: if you make important changes and don't bump the pkgrel, then users that already have that pkgrel installed won't notice you changed something. Anyway, you'll have to be careful to modifications in [community] where you don't bump the pkgrel, there have been some problems, you can find more info on this thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-December/003917.html

You've forgot to tell us your AUR nick, partition, ;-) I've reviewed your packages (and sent you a couple of suggestions by email) and they are ok, some of them are even pretty popular (34, 41 votes, heh, I'm wondering how they could survive without being grabbed to community by someone :-).

He did not forget that. Just as he said, his english language isn't the best, I also had to reread that sentence twice.
