Brian and Jorge expressed the view + that the council can just issue a new tag and that EAPI-4 hasn't been + approved for use yet. No council member supported option 4. Brian and + Tony noted that option 2 only partially addresses the issue. + + The vote turned out 6 votes for option 3 and 1 [Betelgeuse] + for option 1. + + +#322049 use_with 3 arg specification differs in portage for $3='' +----------------------------------------------------------------- + + Jorge asked for a clarification about the proposal to address this + bug. Brian explained that the purpose is to change EAPI 0 to 3 + definition to state that use_with arg1 arg2 '' can't be relied upon. + For EAPI 4 it can be relied on. So in EAPI 0-3, use_with arg1 arg2 '' + is treated as if there were two args, whilst in EAPI 4 it's treated as + if there were 3 arguments. + + All council members approved the proposal. + + +EAPI 4 tree usage approval +-------------------------- + + The council members decided to wait for a new portage release that + will include the above modifications before approving EAPI-4 for tree + use. Some members expressed the desire to hold the aprroval until said + portage release is marked stable, but no decision was made. The issue + will be resolved and approval will be granted via email or at the next + meeting. + + +Slacking arches +--------------- + + There was some discussion about this issue, but the council members + decided this needs to be discussed in the -dev ml before the council + can decide anything about this topic. + + +Next Meeting Chair +------------------ + + jmbsvicetto + + +Next Meeting Date +----------------- + + 20110201 2000 UTC |
