I would like to add, that the last interaction from Giancarlo in our internal
channels (e.g. the packaging channel) has been in September of 2023.
That is nearly two years and questions since have been left unanswered.
Giancarlo, to what extend can we expect packaging mentorship, if this has not
happened (sufficiently) before Martin has sent his application?
From a cursory look, I found a lot of things that should be improved and I am
not happy about us now having to do a full review round over everything.
I'm asking this especially with regards to your packages maintained/ out-of-date
ratio vs. actual last packager 83/9/5 [1].
E.g. even the latest package uploaded by you ("mkinitcpio-utils", for which you
are also the upstream) doesn't follow RFC 0016 which has been readily integrated
in pkgctl for a long time.
Personally, I would really like to see an improvement of our package build
scripts and metadata.
Best,
David
