[gentoo-dev] Meeting of the ppc/ppc64 teams: Monday Aug 4, 2014 @20:00 UTC

[Anthony G. Basile]

Hi everyone,

I'm email gentoo-dev@ because I'm trying to hit up as many devs as 
possible.  Hopefully you've seen the recent discussions about what to do 
with ppc/ppc64 given the low manpower.  Let's get interested people 
meeting in #gentoo-powerpc on Monday Aug 4, 2014 @20:00 UTC. If there 
are no objections, I'll chair the first meeting so here's the agenda so far:

1. Let's reconstitute the team and elect a lead.

2. How should we address the low manpower issue.  At least two solutions 
have been proposed so far:
     a. Drop of many stable keywords to ~arch while retaining a core of 
stable packages
     b. Skip stabilization requests and let the KEYWORDS revert from 
stable to ~ by attrition.

There may be other approaches.  Both 2a and 2b have 
advantages/disadvantages and their technical problems.

Anything else?
