Subject: [gentoo-dev-announce] Council meeting summaries for August & September
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:03:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080928190338.GA9010@comet> (raw)

Hi all,
I just posted the summaries from August & September meetings. The
complete summaries & logs are at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/.
Here's the most important bits:
- EAPI=2 is approved for use in the tree. Portage 2.2_rc10 supports it.
The features are documented in multiple places, including:
- http://dev.gentoo.org/~zmedico/portage/doc/portage.html#package-ebuild-eapi-2-draft
- A list in a PMS appendix that refers to the relevant
sections. `emerge app-doc/pms` to get it.
- PROPERTIES="interactive" is approved for use in the tree. It indicates
that user interaction is required during pkg_setup() or src_unpack().
See http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_e145fc04e907de72e30d88285afb134c.xml
for details. This is outside of any individual EAPI because it is an
optionally handled value. It is a backwards-compatible EAPI change so
had to be approved by the council.
- The PROPERTIES variable will be added to the metadata cache. It will
be used to inform package managers of various properties of a package.
This is related to EAPI so it's an issue determined by package-manager
developers, not by the council.
- PMS is now a draft standard for EAPI=0. This means that conflicts
between portage behavior and the PMS are bugs to be resolved by
changing one of the two. Unresolvable conflicts will be escalated to
the council.
- Devrel sets policy on whether fired developers should be banned from
the places where they did the things that got them fired.
- Cardoe filled the slot left empty by flameeyes's departure for health
reasons.
- All our docs should be updated to refer to irc.gentoo.org instead of
irc.freenode.net.
