Hi all - |
| 2 |
Sorry that I had to bail out of the meeting early, something came up at |
| 3 |
work that required my full attention :/ |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Either way, the meeting was very productive. Here are the minutes of the |
| 6 |
meeting: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
-Releng voted that it should focus more on releng related features that |
| 9 |
enhance the releng media instead of focusing on more broad feature |
| 10 |
requests like ebuild GPG signing or portage-ng implementation. The main |
| 11 |
reasons for choosing this decision were that the releng project should |
| 12 |
not dictate to the other projects deadlines and goals and that we simply |
| 13 |
lack the manpower. The idea of a "Product Manager", introduced by |
| 14 |
Klieber on the -dev mailing-list was brought up, but decided that the |
| 15 |
position did not fall under releng. The overall opinion was that it was |
| 16 |
a good idea but not one that belonged to any one project; it should be |
| 17 |
on a higher administrative level. |

*Please note that pvdabeel was not here for the vote and I still have to |
| 20 |
talk with him, so this may be subject to change. |

-The Feature request list for .2 was decided upon and is available |
| 23 |
publically at http://dev.gentoo.org/~zhen/2004.2_request.txt. The |
| 24 |
features that were decided upon to be included in the release are |
| 25 |
starred (*). Some features have specific dev teams assigned to them in |
| 26 |
order to streamline the process as much as possible. The list will be |
| 27 |
presented to the managers at the next meeting (Monday May 17th) for |
| 28 |
approval and announced to the lists shortly thereafter. |
| 29 |

Please note that I will be committing my Catalyst 3rd party module code |
| 31 |
to CVS tonite. There have been some major changes in the layout of the |
| 32 |
runscript, but they have mostly been cosmetic. Please note that to take |
| 33 |
advantage of the 3rd party modules fix, you will have to unmask |
| 34 |
>=baselayout-1.9.0 in your snapshots. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Additionally, I have committed an example livecd-stage2 template spec. |
| 37 |
It can be found at |
| 38 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/docs/livecd-stage2_template.spec.txt when the web mirrors update. If it is too x86 specific, I can always tweak it so it is more generic, just let me know. |

You can find the meeting log at http://dev.gentoo.org/~zhen/releng-20040512-log.txt. Let me know if there is |
| 41 |
anything else I can do/provide :) |

Cheers, |
