In preferred order of discussion (i.e. shortest topics first): |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1. the 'file installation masks' GLEP [spec:1, RFC:2, bug:3]. It still |
| 12 |
hasn't been merged by the GLEP editors but it's otherwise ready with |
| 13 |
reference implementation for Portage. Preferably please discuss this |
| 14 |
separately/before LINGUAS as it is quite generic and I think having it |
| 15 |
approved would benefit us. The part specifically needing Council |
| 16 |
approval is the extra configuration file in metadata/ dir of the |
| 17 |
repository. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2. The patch fixing USE_EXPAND handling in Portage to adhere to |
| 20 |
the rules enforced by the PMS for EAPI 5 and newer [patch:4, |
| 21 |
patch v1:5, bug:6]. The patch comes in two variants. The former |
| 22 |
(preferred by me) applies the change to all EAPIs since this way we can |
| 23 |
kill the ugly logic for earlier EAPIs and PMS leaves the behavior |
| 24 |
undefined for them. The latter applies it only to EAPI 5 and newer, |
| 25 |
leaving current behavior for older EAPIs. I don't think it really makes |
| 26 |
sense to have different logic as EAPI 5 is quite common already, and |
| 27 |
different behavior will only increase confusion. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
3. New sys-devel/gcc USE=multislot [QA bug:7]. I originally wanted to |
| 30 |
do this via QA but considering the replies to bugs opened so far, I |
| 31 |
think Council approval would be additionally helpful. The key point of |
| 32 |
my request would be to kill the flag, and stop force-removing old |
| 33 |
versions implicitly. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
4. LINGUAS [8,9]. Long story short, PMS considered, we implicitly strip |
| 36 |
localizations from most of the packages out there. I think the first |
| 37 |
step towards fixing it that the most people can approve is renaming |
| 38 |
the USE_EXPAND from LINGUAS to I18N or L10N, or generally something |
| 39 |
else, plus a news item. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
5. USE=gui [10]. It seems to get some appreciation but I suspect it's |
| 42 |
going to end up going to the Council anyway. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I think that's all for now. If I recall something else, I'll let you |
| 45 |
know. |
