Hi everyone,

Hi Carl!

My name is Carl, or carsme on AUR/IRC, and this is my application to
become a Package Maintainer.

Thank you very much for your application! I already came across your work on the AUR a couple of times and had the pleasure to adopt some of your packages and add them to [extra].

For reference, PKGBUILDs for all packages I maintain in the AUR are
available here: https://github.com/carlsmedstad/aurpkgs

As mentioned earlier, they are of high quality and cover a broad range of build systems and applications. One minor thing I spotted while going through some of PKGBUILDs is the use of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, for instance in

https://github.com/carlsmedstad/aurpkgs/blob/d071c9edc238af3819a5fddb6131195ef5df5761/luau/PKGBUILD#L35

If you set CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS then it overrides Arch's defaults. You have to explicitly add $CXXFLAGS to the cmake option to append options.

Hopefully that gives a good picture of who I am and where I'd like to
start my journey as a package maintainer, if accepted.

Overall a very strong application! I think you would be a great addition to the team.

Cheers,
Torsten
