Just wondering what steps do I need to take to apply for TU? I have packaged for AUR previously under ndowens04@gmail.com(as I mentioned, I created this address strictly for AUR purposes). This is not, by the way, a TU application. I am just wondering what would I need to do in order to be concidered for TU. Thanks P.S. Previously one time I applied for TU, some of the complaints were how I wrote messages. Which I have improved on, because I am a Moderator on a forum and typing messages more professionally has helped me :)

Hi Nathan, I just recently asked the same questions. You need to send an application to this mailing list explaining your skills, why you would be beneficial to the team, etc. If you don't have one already, you will need to find a sponsor (one of the current trusted users that chooses to sponsor you). The current team will then vote on your application and then you will eventually get your response. :-) Thanks, Brad
I am not good at resume' like stuff LOL. I mean I don't know programming which would probably be kind of looked down on. Though on the upside I am online every night :) On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 11:55 PM, Brad Fanella <bradfanella@archlinux.us>wrote:

...PKGBUILD format is a type of programming! Especially when it gets complicated. It's after all written in 'bash'. (By the way, remember not to top-post! Arch-ers seem to mind.) -Isaac

It's fine, as long as you are familiar with things such as shell scripting, patch, sed, and building packages from source. Oh, and please don't top-post. I had to find out the hard way. :-) Thanks, Brad

Sorry, I forget which way is prefered, hopely I will remember. I know Gmail tends to automaticly select the typing area to be above the other post(s).
Hi Nathan, I took a look at your packages, and they look really nice. Try to avoid using "|| return 1" though. Other than that, I wish you luck, and if I was a trusted user (must wait for voting period), then I would strongly consider sponsoring you, given you could prove you are able to use basic utilities such as patch. Thanks, Brad

I have used patch before. So I know how to use the patch command, though I have tried to create my own patches using 'diff' between the stable and SVN(or other).

Shell scripting is the only language that a TU *must* know. Familiarity with others can be helpful at times. For instance, I've occasionally had to write patches for C-based packages. If I hadn't been capable of writing those, I would have found someone who was, either upstream, or within the TU community. Can you research a problem and find a solution to it? That's a valuable skill; don't underestimate it. -- Chris

Currently I was having a issue with algoscore. Namcap gave a insecure rpath, so I figured out how to fix that and created a patch. At some point in time today I got to figure out what is causing the actual program to not run or crash. I know a bit of shell scripting, I am not the greatest but I can do some scripting. :)

I'm looking forward to trying algoscore once you got it running. I may be able to help you a bit with packaging too. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen." Bertolt Brecht, Der gute Mensch von Sezuan

Well, I had a look at the readme, which says: If you're using ROX-Filer, you should just be able to start the AppDir by double-clicking it, and AlgoScore will try to compile itself if no binary existed already. As it happens, ROX-Filer is my favorite file manager, and so I tried it. It built and ran without a hitch. I don't know how to use it yet, but it definitely runs. This leads me to believe that the program isn't broken as such, but something is wrong with the build/install.
