Hello,
I'm writing this mail because I want to become a CLC maintainer. Thanks for your application.
- pal (it's a really nice calendar) - muttprint (it's useful for everyone who uses mutt) - lineakd (useful for multimedia keyboards) - lineak_defaultplugin I had a look at your ports, and they're clean and well done. I find the README to muttprint a bit confusing though.
You can get a quick overview of my repository at the following url: http://hometux.de/crux/ports/ The port for imwheel tries to install into /etc; there's another port in the portdb from 'ogg', which includes a patch to fix this (or a similar) problem.
I've read all requirements of becoming a maintainer and I think I can perform them. I use ck4up to keep all ports up-to-date and I am subscribed to both mailinglists of crux and CLC. I also use irc. Your application looks fine, the only minor reservation I have is the fact that you didn't draw my attention to you so far :-). Going through
But, there's also a problem. I do not have any experiences in CVS. I have read some guides about it and I think I understand CVS in theory, so I hope that this isn't a problem for you. That's not a big thing. The CVS HowTo [1] contains most you have to know. If you have further questions, feel free to ask; we can also
Using contrib/fakeroot to build the ports as non-root user is a reliable and easy way to find such problems, so you might want to have a look at it. the IRC logs and mailing list archives, I got a positive impression from you though, especially since you manage to answer question in a reasonable fashion. That said, I'd vote in favour of adding you as a maintainer, but would like to hear a second opinion. provide you with a guide to set up a test repository locally, to make your first steps without any risk.
