The next council meeting will be on Tuesday 9 October 2012 at 19:00 UTC
in the #gentoo-council channel on Freenode.


Proposed agenda:

1. Introduction and roll call (5 minutes)

2. Allow using EAPI5 in the tree (5 minutes)
   Portage supports EAPI 5 since version 2.1.11.19.
   - vote

3. Package name specification (10 minutes)
   See [1].
   - vote:
     a) Drop the limitation entirely (possibly in a future EAPI).              
	 b) Make it stricter, i.e. disallow package names ending in a hyphen
		followed by anything that looks like a valid PVR.  This is
		current Portage behaviour, and the tree complies with it, too.
     c) Leave the spec as it is (and make Portage comply with it).
	 d) Require a) for Package managers and b) by tree policy.
		Practically, this would mean that repoman would reject "foo-1"
		as package name, but the rest of Portage would accept it.

4. Open bugs with council involvement (5 minutes)                               
   - Bug 383467 "Council webpage lacks results for 2010 and 2011              
     elections"                                                               
                                                                                
5. Open floor (10 minutes)
