Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I just posted the summaries from August & September meetings. The |
4 |
complete summaries & logs are at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/. |
5 |
Here's the most important bits: |
6 |
|
7 |
- EAPI=2 is approved for use in the tree. Portage 2.2_rc10 supports it. |
8 |
The features are documented in multiple places, including: |
9 |
- http://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/portage.html#package-ebuild-eapi-2-draft |
10 |
- A list in a PMS appendix that refers to the relevant |
11 |
sections. `emerge app-doc/pms` to get it. |
12 |
|
13 |
- PROPERTIES="interactive" is approved for use in the tree. It indicates |
14 |
that user interaction is required during pkg_setup() or src_unpack(). |
15 |
See http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_e145fc04e907de72e30d88285afb134c.xml |
16 |
for details. This is outside of any individual EAPI because it is an |
17 |
optionally handled value. It is a backwards-compatible EAPI change so |
18 |
had to be approved by the council. |
19 |
|
20 |
- The PROPERTIES variable will be added to the metadata cache. It will |
21 |
be used to inform package managers of various properties of a package. |
22 |
This is related to EAPI so it's an issue determined by package-manager |
23 |
developers, not by the council. |
24 |
|
25 |
- PMS is now a draft standard for EAPI=0. This means that conflicts |
26 |
between portage behavior and the PMS are bugs to be resolved by |
27 |
changing one of the two. Unresolvable conflicts will be escalated to |
28 |
the council. |
29 |
|
30 |
- Devrel sets policy on whether fired developers should be banned from |
31 |
the places where they did the things that got them fired. |
32 |
|
33 |
- Cardoe filled the slot left empty by flameeyes's departure for health |
34 |
reasons. |
35 |
|
36 |
- All our docs should be updated to refer to irc.gentoo.org instead of |
37 |
irc.freenode.net. |
