Hi Anders,

Best wishes for you and I hope you get very sucessful in your real life.

Know that you will be welcome back if one day you get more time and
decide to come back

I've adopted some of your Lua-related (luafilesystem, luajit,
lualogging) packages. I hope to maintain them with care.

Best regards,
Paulo Matias

Hi all,

Besides loving Arch, a few reasons made me leave it as my main
distribution. I could surely adapt Arch to my new personal needs, due
to its simplicity and flexibility, but due to lack of time and real
life pressure, it would not be possible anytime soon. So I'm resigning
as a Trusted User.

I'd like to thank you all for giving me this outstanding opportunity
and experience. Special thanks to hdoria, angvp, bardo, wonder,
foutrelis, ornitorrincos, stefanhusmann, sergej, pierre and all you
that helped me or worked with me on a package.

I have a few packages at community. I hope you can adopt some of them.

In special, I'd like to ask that if some TU uses OSS frequently, he
adopts it, as this package may require some special care, being a
driver package. Most of the users that ask help in the OSS IRC channel
are Arch users, so we should have a good amount of OSS users.

Regarding packages in unsupported, it would be nice if some TU could
adopt virtualbox_bin. This package needs some care and it would be
nice to merge bdheeman's dkms work (virtualbox-sun package) so the
duplicates can be removed. Also it would be nice if someone could
contact the VirtualBox developers (there is even an irc channel -
#vbox) and offer to make this package official. I mean, they have a
repository for debian-based and for redhat-based distributions, so
maybe they could make an archlinux repository and offer directly there
an official ready-to-install package if some help is offered to them.

I will list below my community and unsupported packages to ease adoption.

[community]
- oss-related (oss, skype-oss)
- djvu-related (djview4, pdf2djvu -> pstreams)
- lua-related (luadoc, luafilesystem, luajit, lualogging)
- netsurf-related (netsurf -> hubbub, libnsbmp, libnsgif, libparserutils)
- latex-related (texmaker)

[unsupported]
- vbox-related (virtualbox_bin)
- oss-related (xulrunner-oss)
- electronics-related (alliance, chipmunksystem, logisim)
- lua-related (iup, cd, im, gnuplot-luaterm)
- ion3-related (ion-3, trayion)
- djvu-related (gsdjvu)
- irc-related (kvirc-svn, qirssi)
- driver stuff (samsutools)
- other stuff (chestnut-dialer, eresi-svn, python-mpmath, uspnet)

By the number of votes, some of them can even go to community if some
TU is interested.

Packages virtualbox_bin-1, virtualbox_bin-2, virtualbox_bin-3_0 are
legacy stuff requested by users to be left out. The netcfg-rt73 and
qc-usb packages are legacy stuff that are probably useless nowadays,
unless someone uses an old custom kernel.

Best regards,

Paulo Matias

I've taken over texmaker, and will take over a few more if no one claims
them. Best of luck and thanks for allyour work!

Thanks all your help on IRC, Paulo, and I hope someone will maintain
virtualbox correctly, it was nice work from you!

Hi Paulo, thanks for your contributions.

I'm closely following Lua, and can help out with the luadoc, luafilesystem, and
lualogging. luajit doesn't yet work on x86_64, which my machines are,
and I haven't played with it at all, so I won't say I can help with
that.

Now I'm not a TU, and don't really have the time to take
on TU responsibilities even if you trusted me! I'm just offering to
help out, in case some TU is willing to adopt them but hesitates on account of
lack of experience with Lua. Or if these were to go to AUR, then I could
take them.

The four Lua packages in AUR are graphics/plotting packages I don't use.
Hopefully there's someone else who does. But if not, I could be a foster
parent until someone comes along.

I am also a Lua user, and as I was reading posts by the Arch Haskell
team I thought maybe a project like that should be created for Lua. I
would love to see a better support for it in Arch, and especially to
see all of Kepler packaged (including Xavante).

If other users on this list are interrested, please email me and maybe
we could set up a user repository for lua modules...
