2. Package Default USE Flags / Security |
| 27 |
========================================================================= |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The council discussed default USE flags, in-particular including those |
| 30 |
of openssl and openssh [1 and 2]. The council felt that this should be |
| 31 |
left to the maintainer's discretion. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
"Per existing policy, the council leaves the default USE flags to the |
| 34 |
discretion of the maintainer, but encourages following upstream when |
| 35 |
there is no reason to do otherwise." |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Aye: dberkholz, rich0, scarabeus, ulm |

3. Non-upstream pkg-config |
| 46 |
========================================================================= |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The council felt unanimously that an outright ban on non-upstream |
| 49 |
pkg-config files was inappropriate. It was felt that any sensible |
| 50 |
policy would leave it to the maintainer's discretion. The exact wording |
| 51 |
of the recommendations was deferred to the lists/etc. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
"The council agrees to revise the devmanual policy regarding pkg-config |
| 54 |
files to set guidelines for non-upstream pkg-config files but to leave |
| 55 |
the inclusion up to the maintainer's discretion. Wording will be |
| 56 |
worked out following the meeting, and in the meantime the changes |
| 57 |
introduced in bug 445130 will be reverted." |

| 70 |
bug by rich0. |
