Removing last keyworded package version for a minor arch [5] ============================================================ The proposal by rich0 in [5] was accepted unanimously. The modified rule now reads: "If a maintainer has an open STABLEREQ, or a KEYWORDREQ blocking a pending STABLEREQ, for 90 days with archs CCed and otherwise ready to be stabilized, the maintainer can remove older versions of the package at their discretion. A package is considered ready to be stabilized if it has been in the tree for 30 days, and has no known major flaws on arches that upstream considers supported." Metastructure: Dead projects [6,7] ================================== For all three projects listed in the e-mail (Kolab, GSE, Gentoo/Alt AT) the following resolution was passed with 6 yes votes: "Remove the project web page, and if noone cares, all is done." Metastructure: Reorganization of the project tree [8,9] ======================================================= Consensus was that such and similar changes should rather be made in small steps and make more sense once the migration of the project pages to the wiki is complete. No action was taken. Modernization/adaption of the Code of Conduct, the return [10] ============================================================== A minimally modernized version of the CoC page "Consequences" section was presented by dilfridge. Consensus was that - since this is a sensitive area - the text will be sent to the project mailing list for discussion and decided in the next council meeting. Revival of archives.gentoo.org [11] =================================== The current technical problems with archives.gentoo.org were discussed, and the council was CCed to bug 424647. No further action was taken. Open bugs with council involvement ================================== * Bug 477030 - Missing summary for 20130611 council meeting [12] Consensus is to continue annoying betelgeuse for that. Open floor ========== TomWij remarks that some documentation changes or clarifications are pending and will be brought up in a future meeting, regarding: * new project to be filed on wiki, authors not marked as retired, ... * KEYWORD="" and/or package.mask
