Just wondering what steps do I need to take to apply for TU?

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the offer. I am going to try and get it working on my own at first :) I think I am on the right track. I just got to get the actual app to run, because it will keeps crashing, so the packaging is fine. It is just the app that is bad currently.

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.

That is weird, I will work on it in a bit and see if I can get it to run. Thanks for the pointer

Also how do I find somebody that will be my sponsor?
