EAPI specification in ebuilds |
17 |
============================= |
18 |
Discuss/vote which of the proposals should be further pursued and |
19 |
worked out in detail: |
20 |

21 |

24 |

26 |
|
27 |
The council members expressed their preference for option A. |
28 |
Subsequently, a vote on option A was taken, which has been accepted |
29 |
with 5 yes votes and 1 abstention. |
30 |
|
31 |
Action: Work out exact specification until next meeting (ulm). |
32 |
|
33 |
New udev and separate /usr partition |
34 |
==================================== |
35 |
Decide on whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration. |
36 |
If it is, newer udev can not be stabled and alternatives should be |
37 |
investigated. If it isn't, a lot of documentation will have to be |
38 |
updated. (And an alternative should likely still be provided.) |
39 |
|
40 |
The council has voted in favour of a separate /usr being supported |
41 |
(5 yes, 1 no vote). |
42 |
|
43 |
During the discussion, some concerns were raised that we might not be |
44 |
able to provide a modified or forked udev version. Chainsaw assured |
45 |
that if necessary, he will maintain a udev version that supports said |
46 |
configuration. |
47 |
|
48 |
It was remarked that a solution that comprises both the forked udev |
49 |
version (separate /usr) and the latest versions is possible and |
50 |
therefore should not block either way preferred by users. |
51 |
|
52 |
herds.xml and mail aliases |
53 |
========================== |
54 |
Should devs be required to add themselves to herds.xml when adding to |
55 |
mail alias? |
56 |
|
57 |
This was rejected by the council (5 no votes). |
58 |
|
59 |
Open bugs with council involvement |
60 |
================================== |
61 |
Bug 383467 "Council webpage lacks results for 2010 and 2011 elections": |
62 |
Postponed, because jmbsvicetto isn't present. |
63 |
|
64 |
Bug 408073: "Make the user choose a locale" |
65 |
Action: ulm will ping the docs team. |
66 |
|
67 |
