Summary of Gentoo council meeting 14th August 2012 Roll call =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D betelgeuse chainsaw grobian scarabeus ulm williamh absent ------ dberkholz (receives slacker mark) EAPI5 features =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Due to holidays, the list of features for EAPI5 was announced only 2 days in advance of the meeting. This gave little time for Council members to prepare for votes. Therefore a vote was conducted if voting on EAPI5 features in this meeting was deemed suitable. The Council voted unanimously to postpone voting on EAPI5 features. The list of features for EAPI5 were outlined by ulm in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2101/focus=3D2115 Since many of these features appear not to be implemented in Portage, a discussion on their implementation is called for by the Council. The Council stressed that it prefers to vote on EAPI5 features that can and will be implemented within a short timeframe, say 1 month. Open bugs with Council involvement =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D There are currently no open bugs. Open floor =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D scarabeus suggested the change "dev should use latest eapi when bumping" to "dev must use latest eapi when bumping if not forbidden by eclasses". He was asked to bring it up on the mailing lists, to get a better definition of when what EAPI should be used. ulm raised deprecation of EAPI 1 on request of patrick. Arfrever argued that backwards compatability is not an issue here, and that it can greatly reduce code size/maintenance of eclasses when EAPI0 and EAPI1 are removed. It was questioned whether removal of an EAPI really brings that much benefits. It seems eclasses can drop support for EAPIs, if all consumers don't use them, which does not require complete removal of the EAPI. It appears some packages use build-systems that require EAPI1.
