Hey from Australia

Hi, I'm Tim and I've been using Pardus on and off since the 2007 release. I've decided to settle in with it as my primary distro and get more involved with helping the community in some fashion. I've been using various shades of Linux since about 95, starting on Slackware and recently LFS/Pardus/Mint. Somewhat of a hobbyist coder, python being the current infatuation - rarely brilliant at any language, I just tend to hack on stuff until it works.

I do aim to become an active contributor on the forums, lately though I've been working on understanding the intricacies of pisi packaging.

I've had a bugfix/update contrib package accepted and waiting on developer approval atm for a new contrib package. The dev's on the pardus-devel mailing list have been very helpful.

Still a few things I haven't got my head around yet, been going through the pisi source and existing pspec.xml for various packages looking for a way to specify an 'or' dependency. From what I've seen so far, doesn't look like there is one.

eg. package x requires either Alsa or OpenAL

Hi Lashni,

And welcome!  I hope you get that python error you mentioned in other thread worked out.

Thanks Lisa, though I basically just swapped to the fresh install rather than figuring it out. Slack. :)
