Hello all,

My name is David Wang but I go by various aliases and what not. For the
sole purpose of communicating with you all I will be known as tuxsavvy.
I am glad to be interested in this Fedora project. 😄️

I presently use Arch Linux on my own desktops, but I do use Fedora
Linux on laptops, as well as recommending Fedora Linux to novices in
general. As such, I do write and maintain a few AUR package sources, a
bit like Fedora copr but without the build system. My first copr
project is, well, embarrassingly an update to an existing package,
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tuxsavvy/star/ 😅️

I wasn't intending on replacing existing package maintainer's roles,
but to hopefully hint at the viability of updating it to a new upstream
repository, considering how the licenses I have found that it falls
under, appears to be accepted by Fedora. Having said that, I have filed
it as a bug report on RH's Bugzilla instead of generating the noise
here.

Over time, I intend to be writing and maintaining new Fedora packages,
hopefully not replacing existing ones like I did, but to offer
alternatives if that is the case. This brings me to (lib)ebu which I do
have it functioning on Arch Linux via AUR,
https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/libebu [1] and that I personally
believe this package could be useful for existing EB library users;
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/eb as it does bring some advantages
over it with JIS X 4081 UTF-8 extensions, the ability to use
libdeflate, as well as other things that the author of the forked
project brings, http://green.ribbon.to/~ikazuhiro/dic/ebu.html (the
information is in Japanese, please be advised).

Anyhow I don't intend to ramble on the specifics in an introductory e-
mail, so I'll keep the rest for future topics. I look forward to
working with you all, and to foster a better relationship.

Kind Regards,


David
