Application for TU

[corvolino]

   Hello everyone.

   I'm interested in becoming a TU. Thotypous has agreed to be my sponsor.

   My current goals are:

   1 - Doing my best to help in improving the AUR. Maintain my packages in
   good condition and encourage people to keep packages in AUR;

   2 - I want to improve my knowledge related to ArchLinux and to help
   colleagues using Arch;

   3 - I'd like to participate actively in decisions regarding to Arch;

   4 - Representing Arch and talking about its philosophy and tools in
   events about Free Software.

   I currently maintain 21 packages in AUR (my user is corvolino). I'm
   already an Arch user for about 3 years. I use Linux since 2005. Since then,
   I have learned a lot with research, forums and friends.

   I'm a member of Arch Linux Brazil since the end of last year, where I
   already help with packages, documentation and translation. I also helped
   with documentation and support in other distributions I've used.

   For those who don't know me, I'm participatory and I'll always do what I
   can to help Arch Linux.

   Thanks for all those helped me so far,

   corvolino.

I had a quick skim of your PKGBUILDs in the AUR.  A couple of comments:

1) do not use specific sourceforge mirrors;  use
downloads.sourceforge.net instead (e.g. pidgin-festival)
2) you should use srcdir/pkgdir instead of startdir/  but I notice some
PKGBUILDs do this so maybe it is is transition thing.
3) you can use "install -Dm" instead of "install -d" followed by
"install -m"

Other than that, you PKGBUILDs all look fine.  I didn't notice anything
very complicated in my quick skim through (no patching etc).

Good luck,
Allan

But it was not your packages I reviewed...  Please start a new thread if
you want to discuss you application.  This one is for corvolino.

A few notes on your PKGBUILDs

- url is a string, not an array (amule-upnp)
- package description should not start with pkgname (baltazar, dirac-codec)
- you can use $pkgname-$pkgver in source array, makes
  maintenance easier (cpuspeed)
- backup array has preceding slashes (cpuspeed)
- if you put a package in depends, there is no need to put it in
  makedepends as well (rtpproxy)
- putting in '|| return 1' would be nice here (wireless-applet); this
  is especially important when you'll include patches.

Another point...

You should keep other contributor's names in the package.
You adopted the packages, right?! As I could see, you have packages from
2007 for example. And you had just put your name as the only one who
contributed for the package. :/

When you adopt a package, you should put your name and keep the others.

best regards

Hi all,

I'm glad to sponsor him. It has some time since I know him from the
Brazilian community and he is a very helpful and collaborative guy. I
will help him fixing any problems we may encounter. So this starts the
discussion period.


Best regards,

Paulo Matias

[corvolino]

thanks to everyone who warned about problems in pkgbuilds, with the help of
thotypous will improve them.

Awesome. You forgot amule-upnp though!
The url should be a string rather than an array.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amule-upnp/amule-upnp/PKGBUILD

You should also describe exactly what is different about this package
compared to the stock amule package.

Cheers!

[corvolino]

Because he has no patch. My sponsor suggested that i leave is because the
original version was not compatible with you source.

I don't quite understand what you mean there.
Can you try rephrasing that? Thanks.

Did your sponsor say to leave the url as an array?

[Marcelo Cavalcante]

I guess you should keep working for now. Improving your skills, etc..
I think you're doing a great job but need to practice and improve it more to
become a TU. IMHO, off course.

Best Regards...
