<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>Hello,
I am looking for becoming a Mageia packager, hence for a mentor, per
Mageia rules.
My background: I am a developer, professionally and for leisure. And I
have been a Mandrake, then Mandriva, and lately Mageia user. Though I
have been for some time users of other distributions, like Ubuntu,
Debian, Gentoo and some less known derivatives. Anyway I have never
packaged a rpm up to today (I have only one experience of an .deb
package) but have always wanted to do so because I regularly have to
install manually softwares in my /usr/local (either because I can't
find them, or because Mageia packages are outdated, or finally because
the packaging is broken). So I finally decided to give it a go and
propose my candidature.
Note that I don't intend to be a "full time" packager. As I said, I
develop. And I have other activities. So I don't have enough time to
do everything unfortunately. I will prefer to focus on the few
packages I encounter problems with (or softwares I develop).
I already have a small TODO list (all the ones I needed and had to
install myself recently):
- Alchemy: <A HREF="http://al.chemy.org/">http://al.chemy.org/</A>
An interesting experimental drawing software.
- odns: <A HREF="http://odns.tuxfamily.org/">http://odns.tuxfamily.org/</A>
An OCaml library I maintain, for querying DNS servers, accompanied by
a CLI querying tool.
- cinelerra: <A HREF="http://cinelerra.org/">http://cinelerra.org/</A>
A video editor
- gstreamermm: <A HREF="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bindings/cplusplus.html">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bindings/cplusplus.html</A>
C++ binding to gstreamer
- xcftools: <A HREF="http://henning.makholm.net/software">http://henning.makholm.net/software</A>
A CLI tool to manipulate XCF (Gimp) files.
- FAAC: <A HREF="http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html">http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html</A>
MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 AAC encoder
- subtitle editor: <A HREF="http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/">http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/</A>
A tool to edit and create subtitles.
- cld (compact language detector):
<A HREF="http://code.google.com/p/chromium-compact-language-detector/">http://code.google.com/p/chromium-compact-language-detector/</A>
The language detector extracted from the Chromium code and packaged
into its own self-contained library. I am one of the main committer on
this library.
It also has a Python binding (which would make a separate package).
- tinysegmenter: <A HREF="http://lilyx.net/tinysegmenter-in-python/">http://lilyx.net/tinysegmenter-in-python/</A>
A Japanese segmenter in Python. I completely repackaged it with an
actual setup.py but the author is not responding. So I guess I am
going to open a separate repository somewhere and will be the
maintainer on it (I am already the pypi maintainer:
<A HREF="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tinysegmenter">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tinysegmenter</A> ).
And I guess that's it for now.
Hope that's a good start. :-)
Jehan
