The complete IRC log is available at . Ulrich Summary of Gentoo council meeting 3 April 2012 Roll call ========= Present: betelgeuse, chainsaw, dberkholz, grobian, hwoarang, ulm. Missing: jmbsvicetto. EAPI specification in ebuilds ============================= Discuss/vote which of the proposals should be further pursued and worked out in detail: A: Parse bash assignment statement B: Comment in first line of header C: Bash function D: Filename extension (GLEP 55) E: External metadata file F: None, keep status quo The council members expressed their preference for option A. Subsequently, a vote on option A was taken, which has been accepted with 5 yes votes and 1 abstention. Action: Work out exact specification until next meeting (ulm). New udev and separate /usr partition ==================================== Decide on whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration. If it is, newer udev can not be stabled and alternatives should be investigated. If it isn't, a lot of documentation will have to be updated. (And an alternative should likely still be provided.) The council has voted in favour of a separate /usr being supported (5 yes, 1 no vote). During the discussion, some concerns were raised that we might not be able to provide a modified or forked udev version. Chainsaw assured that if necessary, he will maintain a udev version that supports said configuration. It was remarked that a solution that comprises both the forked udev version (separate /usr) and the latest versions is possible and therefore should not block either way preferred by users. herds.xml and mail aliases ========================== Should devs be required to add themselves to herds.xml when adding to mail alias? This was rejected by the council (5 no votes). Open bugs with council involvement ================================== Bug 383467 "Council webpage lacks results for 2010 and 2011 elections": Postponed, because jmbsvicetto isn't present. Bug 408073: "Make the user choose a locale" Action: ulm will ping the docs team. Open floor ========== No issues were brought up to the council by the community. Next meeting date ================= 8 May 2012, 19:00 UTC.
