Here, I'll just paste the relevant snippet of the trustees meeeting on |
| 14 |
irc (please note, I have obfuscated the names of the trustees to protect |
| 15 |
their privacy and their vote): |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
<kliebe*>So, this amd64 thing is a pain up the backside. I don't think |
| 18 |
we should support a separate profile until and unless AMD gives each and |
| 19 |
every one of us a box for free. Who's with me? |
| 20 |
<M*thod> Yar! |
| 21 |
<Z*eN> Yar |
| 22 |
<g3boojum>I could use a new computer, sure. |
| 23 |
<schields>Can I get a "hell yeah" |
| 24 |
<seem*nt>Well, ok, but what do we do about the users who already use |
| 25 |
this amd64 profile thing? And by the way, where *is* the profile? |
| 26 |
<*feifer>it's in ${PORTDIR}/profiles |
| 27 |
<seem*nt>cd PORTDIR/profiles |
| 28 |
-bash: cd: PORTDIR/profiles: No such file or directory |
| 29 |
<seem*nt>anyway whatever, I vote yes |
| 30 |
<*dmw*ters>ci*aranm has a good suggestion on the -dev mailing list. |
| 31 |
<*lieber>I'm for it, let's force the amd64 devs to just obey the x86 |
| 32 |
keywords. After all, it's the same thing really, just with more |
| 33 |
<M*th*d>bits on the end! |
| 34 |
<csh*elds> Can I get another "hell yeah" |
| 35 |
<p*uldv>There are some trustees who are absent. What do we do about |
| 36 |
their votes. |
| 37 |
<seem*nt>Since there's 6 missing and 6 of us, we can all vote twice. |
| 38 |
Like, I'll vote for one, you for another, and so on. We'll just imagine |
| 39 |
what the other person voted for. |
| 40 |
<M*thod> I vote yes and no. |
| 41 |
<Zh*N>ditto |
| 42 |
g2b*ojum>I'll vote no and yes |
| 43 |
<kli*ber>I'll vote yes and yes |
| 44 |
<cshi*lds> I'll vote yes and abstain |
| 45 |
<pa*ldv>no and abstain |
| 46 |
<pf*ifer>yes and yes |
| 47 |
<s*emant>yes and no |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
SNIP. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Note that at the end of the meeting we just voted the abstainers and the |
| 52 |
nay-sayers OFF the board. We've had it up to here with their dissent, |
| 53 |
quite frankly, so no more trouble out of that lot. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
So, who's bidding the on the bridge I'm selling? |
