Quick summary ============= Code of Conduct enforcement --------------------------- Promote individual devs responding to people who are being jerks. Keep responses private, unless that person gets out of hand. dberkholz will get things going. To help or get advice, contact him. GLEP 46: Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml -------------------------------------------- Approved, with a caveat: Clarify reasoning for protocol restriction to http:// and https:// EAPI=1: Where is the approved specification? -------------------------------------------- A long discussion was had about using EAPIs without a spec. Halcy0n is getting the PMS ready for EAPI=0. To help, contact him so we can get it done and approved ASAP. Roll call ========= (here, proxy [by whom] or slacker?) amne here betelgeuse here, but 1h20m late of the 2h meeting [server problems] dberkholz here flameeyes here lu_zero here vapier proxy [halcy0n] jokey here Updates to last month's topics ============================== http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20080110-summary.txt Code of Conduct enforcement --------------------------- Last month: Council members agreed on the direction. dberkholz will provide additional details on -council ML Updates: dberkholz posted a simple suggestion to -council last night: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-council/msg_ba125098c929ea31f34051dfb009d436.xml The basic idea is to just promote individual devs responding to people who are being jerks. Privately, unless things get out of hand. Council supported the implementation. dberkholz will get things going. Document of being an active developer ------------------------------------- Last month: dberkholz and araujo will look into a scribus based template. Devrel will have to generate a signing key for these purposes. Updates: araujo was working on a script to automatically insert data into XML in scribus or inkscape formats. He said he would work on it this weekend. Template file on hold pending format decision from script Any news from devrel on key? dberkholz pinged musikc for an update. Slacker arches -------------- Last month: vapier will work on rich0's suggestion and repost it for discussion on -dev ML Updates: No changes. GLEP 54: scm package version suffix ----------------------------------- Last month: Sent back to -dev. peper was to repost it. Updates: No discussion on -dev. No resubmission to council. GLEP 55: Use EAPI-suffixed ebuilds (.ebuild-EAPI) ------------------------------------------------- Last month: Sent back to -dev Updates: No discussion on -dev. No resubmission to council. New topics ========== GLEP 46: Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml -------------------------------------------- http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0046.html http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_46d474d621455bc204654dc483e87cc5.xml Approved, with a caveat Questions were raised about requiring http:// and https:// only. What about ftp:// ? What about no limitation, and requiring tools to throw out protocols they don't recognize? Why is that restriction there? Once those questions are resolved, it will be finalized. EAPI=1: Where is the approved specification? -------------------------------------------- http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_e1b4a369534e30b8a64c6c6429cfe729.xml A long discussion was had about whether we should continue using EAPI=1 when we don't have EAPI=0 approved, reverting EAPI=1, and the value of specifications in producing quality code. People generally agreed about not adding any new EAPIs until the PMS for EAPI=0 is approved, but there wasn't agreement on changing anything about EAPI=1. To make forward progress, Halcy0n agreed to work on getting the PMS ready for EAPI=0. He asked for anyone else interested to contact him so we can get it done and approved ASAP. Halcy0n will give us an update at the next council meeting.
