[gentoo-dev] GLEPs soon to expire

Dear all,
  On 1 November I'm finally going to enforce GLEP 28, which "expires"
all Draft GLEPs that have been inactive for more than 60 days and all
Accepted GLEPs that have been inactive for more than six months.  To
prevent your favorite GLEP from being marked "deferred", please send the
GLEP editors (at glep@gentoo.org) a status update or a request that the
GLEP either be submitted for approval or marked final (if already
approved).

GLEPs that need attention:

5 Metadata.xml extension
11 Web Application Installation  (I assume this should be final, now)
13 Providing the users with a Gentoo Handbook (Final?)
14 Security updates based on GLSA (Current status?)
15 Gentoo Script Repository (Current status?)
16 Gentoo Menu System
17 Resolution for Aging Ebuilds
18 Gentoo Bimonthly Publication
19 Gentoo Stable Portage Tree (Was this ever approved?)
20 /srv - Services Home Directory Support (Didn't we approve this one?)
21 User-defined package sets
23 Portage handling of ACCEPT_LICENSE (Did we approve this one?)
24 Consistent Gentoo tool naming scheme
25 Distfile Patching Support
26 Handling kernels with portage

Thanks,
g2boojum

What defines "inactivity"? Regarding GLEP 15, there were a ml discussion the 
last days.

The LICENSE syntax was approved and repoman has been updated to check for it. 
The grouping is the other main issue which is shared almost entirely with 
GLEP 28. There seems to be little interest feedback-wise in either GLEP's 
case and no negative feedback to the main purpose... Once the few issues and 
opinions are addressed and integrated, (I hope) we should be able to 
fasttrack them pretty easily.

Jason Stubbs

*Grin*  I wrote the e-mail before the servers had synced the change to
the status of GLEP 28 to "Informational".  I actually did try to follow
our own rules.

From GLEP 28: "Inactivity is defined simply as the GLEP author has not
contacted the GLEP editors with either an update or a request to submit
the GLEP for approval (in the case of a Draft GLEP) or a request that
the GLEP be marked final (in the case of an Accepted GLEP)."

An update need not be more than a single line similar to "20041022 -
Currently working on foo".  That way our users can learn the status of a
GLEP simply by looking at the GLEP.

Hey Grant,
Ian (port001) and I are still working on the script repository. There's 
not much to report on right now, but it's almost functionally complete 
and I'm hoping to have the first alpha release of it ready for use by 
the end of november or so.

Cheers,
Scott
