Subject: [aur-general] TU Application
From: Imanol Celaya

Hello,
My name is Imanol Celaya, I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Electrical
Engineering in Bilbao, Spain. On the forums and irc you can find me as
ornitorrincos.
I started on linux on 2003 and first used fedora core, then debian and
finally arch since late 2006 testing some more like gentoo, solaris,
and openbsd on dual boot. a bit later I got involved in the Spanish
arch community translating the docs and one iso installer. I'm also
developing pyalpm [http://pyalpm.sourceforge.net] (not the 2005's
attempt using ctype, but using distutils) I'm also one of the
developers of the bot on #archlinux-es
[github.com/ornitorrincos/archinator].
As you can see with some of my packages
[http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?SeB=m&K=ornitorrincos] I'm
interested in packaging for arch some developer tools(as NetBSD's make
and the TenDRA C compiler, svn at the moment as the latest "stable"
release is from 1998 but I wouldn't mind try to package it if somebody
wants it), of course, I'd be interested in packaging some more C/C++
compilers(which are not gcc, variety is a good thing), I'm also
interested in python, EDA software and 3d apps. If possible I also
plan to package some GPGPU software.
I have both a x86_64 machine and a i686 machine with arch installed.
On my free time I like to go out with some friends, see a movie or do
3d modeling.
I've been some time wanting to be a TU and angvp told me that when
I feel prepared I could ask him to be my sponsor, and as today I feel
prepared to apply angvp is my sponsor.
Greetings,
Imanol
Hello,
I had a quick look on some of your packages. They are formally well
written IMHO.
4l: Dependency to gcc is not needed, it is in base-devel, and you
have a mkdir -p which should be a install -d
Are you sure the dependency is on gcc and not on gcc-libs?
You can consider to replace $startdir/src with $srcdir and
$startdir/pkg with $pkgdir in some PKGBUILDS.
But that are minor issues.
Can you please explain what EDA and GPGPU means? I did a little
googling, but the pages I found go far beyond my skills in computer
science. Do you have some projects for packaging in mind in that
direction?
Regards Stefan
