And the resolution for that was to make it possible to disable kdebuild-1. That is not the same as deleting it while there are still users who have kdebuild-1 packages installed. I shall remind you, the Council-approved process for PMS changes is to send them to this list, and if unanimous agreement can't be reached, then to escalate the issue to the Council. > > In the mean time, I'll give Christian a day or two to revert every > > patch he's applied recently that didn't follow the Council-mandated > > review process, or I can do the revert for him if he doesn't have > > time himself. >=20 > Don't. Sorry, but the Council-approved procedure is that patches get sent to this list and don't get committed until there aren't objections. We don't commit things until everyone's happy with them. I have objections to several of those patches, and they haven't been addressed. If you'd like to address them now, please do so: * When did it become policy to use the newest EAPI for ebuilds? I must've missed that becoming policy -- last I heard, policy was to use the oldest EAPI that provides everything you need to write a good ebuild. * Since PMS became 'suitable for use', we've never committed works in progress to master. We've always used branches for EAPI definitions that aren't complete, and we've never committed EAPIs that haven't had their wording approved by the Council to master. Why are we changing this policy? Where was this policy change discussed? * Why is disabling kdebuild-1 by default helpful? Why not take the reasonable steps already mentioned first, to ensure that the change does not have adverse impact? --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/XEpO3q3wpKDXUpirj0VvHKb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksihM4ACgkQ96zL6DUtXhFpMwCeMEMRZILc8J6t/8S/5KRwcv3g f/wAnioCRZYGB4SkZMV21bD22oOYnF0R =H2jI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/XEpO3q3wpKDXUpirj0VvHKb--
