[aur-general] Move community/*avr* to the AUR.
by Thomas Dziedzic 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, I have noticed that all the avr packages have been orphans ever since I can remember. gcc-avr hasn't been updated yet, and wasn't even marked out of date when I checked today. (had to mark it myself and I don't use it). I would like to move the following packages to the AUR where someone more interested in them will be able to take good care of them. avr-libc gcc-avr binutils-avr avrdude

[aur-general] Trusted User Application
by Jonathan Conder 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I would like to apply to become a Trusted User. Ionuț/wonder has kindly agreed to sponsor me. Anyway, here is some info about me: Who am I? My name is Jonathan Conder, from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm currently a full-time student studying Maths and Computer Science (among other things). I've been using Linux since early 2008, after a bit of distro-hopping I moved to Arch, and was very impressed by the wiki and the degree of control I gained over my system. My forum username is PirateJonno, maybe some of you have seen me around. Why do I want to be a TU? Well, Arch has been my distribution of choice for several years now, and I would like to give something back to the community. I hope that this position will enable me to move some popular AUR packages to community. What packages am I interested in? Firstly, I would like to adopt MythTV (and related packages) since they seem to have no current maintainer. This would involve moving them out of extra and into community of course. If the need arises, I would also be willing to maintain anything I have installed, which boils down to a lot of GNOME desktop applications, a few games, and various multimedia programs or libraries. Other packages I would be interested in bringing to community are: fbsplash (along with a few themes) gnome-colors-icon-theme mediatomb (possibly with a few patches) nspluginwrapper-flash (if this presents no ideological issues) Also, I have a few projects of my own that could be added in future, namely PackageKit and nautilus-makepkg. See my AUR/GitHub pages at: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=PirateJonno http://github.com/PirateJonno Can I do the job? I think I have enough experience packaging for Arch to become a TU. Although I don't maintain many AUR packages, I would do if the need arose. I often modify others' packages to change the configure flags, add a custom patch, enable debugging symbols, etc. My work on PackageKit has made me very familiar with the packaging system itself. I am also a reasonably experienced C/C++ programmer, which means I am usually pretty good at tracking down bugs. My ability to find bugs in unfamiliar code is also improving. For example, here are some I have reported/fixed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.org&emailtype1=exact&emailreporter1=1 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?email1=j% 40skurvy.no-ip.org&emailtype1=exact&emailreporter1=1 http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?status[]&opened=PirateJonno Thanks for your time, Jonathan
