[gentoo-portage-dev] Outstanding decisions

[Simon Stelling]

Hey all,

I'm just wading through a list of ~200 bugs of which some need decisions what
should be done, whether it should be done at all or simply whether it is a bug
or not.

Bug: SRC_URI: spaces not supported
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102607
Is this a 'NOTABUG' case?

Bug: gpg: "strict" incorrectly takes priority over "severe"
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68906
What's the expected behaviour? Is it NOTABUG?

Bug: Method to monitor a package without installing/upgrading it
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47456
Same thing. Do we want this?

Bug: Support for a pre-compile pkg_config
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99529
As Jason mentioned: Is this worth the effort?

Bug: per profile package.keywords
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55321
Voting seems to be a bit... incomplete ;)

Bug: Wording "These are the packages that I would merge, in order:"
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112439
This needs a decision too. What wording do we prefer? Either way, the bug should
be closed, the fix is trivial in case we want to change it.

Bug: global exception handling
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28535
Should tracebacks be thrown in the users' face or not?

Bug: /usr/lib/portage/bin/clean_locks documentation example could make use use
DISTDIR
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116676
Call portageq or not? Voting time ;)

That should be enough for the moment. More will probably follow, considering
that I only checked the first 60 bugs or so :/ It would be nice if we could make
the needed decision and then close the bugs where it is NOTABUG/INVALID/LATER. I
hate stale bug listings ;)
