Summary of Gentoo council meeting 3 April 2012 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Roll call |
| 18 |
========= |
| 19 |
Present: betelgeuse, chainsaw, dberkholz, grobian, hwoarang, ulm. |
| 20 |
Missing: jmbsvicetto. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
EAPI specification in ebuilds |
| 23 |
============================= |
| 24 |
Discuss/vote which of the proposals should be further pursued and |
| 25 |
worked out in detail: |
| 26 |
A: Parse bash assignment statement |
| 27 |
B: Comment in first line of header |
| 28 |
C: Bash function |
| 29 |
D: Filename extension (GLEP 55) |
| 30 |
E: External metadata file |
| 31 |
F: None, keep status quo |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The council members expressed their preference for option A. |
| 34 |
Subsequently, a vote on option A was taken, which has been accepted |
| 35 |
with 5 yes votes and 1 abstention. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Action: Work out exact specification until next meeting (ulm). |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
New udev and separate /usr partition |
| 40 |
==================================== |
| 41 |
Decide on whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration. |
| 42 |
If it is, newer udev can not be stabled and alternatives should be |
| 43 |
investigated. If it isn't, a lot of documentation will have to be |
| 44 |
updated. (And an alternative should likely still be provided.) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The council has voted in favour of a separate /usr being supported |
| 47 |
(5 yes, 1 no vote). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
During the discussion, some concerns were raised that we might not be |
| 50 |
able to provide a modified or forked udev version. Chainsaw assured |
| 51 |
that if necessary, he will maintain a udev version that supports said |
| 52 |
configuration. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
It was remarked that a solution that comprises both the forked udev |
| 55 |
version (separate /usr) and the latest versions is possible and |
| 56 |
therefore should not block either way preferred by users. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
herds.xml and mail aliases |
| 59 |
========================== |
| 60 |
Should devs be required to add themselves to herds.xml when adding to |
| 61 |
mail alias? |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
This was rejected by the council (5 no votes). |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Open bugs with council involvement |
| 66 |
================================== |
| 67 |
Bug 383467 "Council webpage lacks results for 2010 and 2011 elections": |
| 68 |
Postponed, because jmbsvicetto isn't present. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
Bug 408073: "Make the user choose a locale" |
| 71 |
Action: ulm will ping the docs team. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Open floor |
| 74 |
========== |
| 75 |
No issues were brought up to the council by the community. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
