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 ?

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?

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. -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

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

2008/1/9, Mateusz Herych :

There were only cosmetic changes. If it`s really wrong I will fix them in future.

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 Corrado

I registrered in AUR in December 2006, partition is my login there.

You've forgot to tell us your AUR nick, partition, ;-)

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

LOL, indeed, "partition is my login there", sorry. :-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
