\index{default USE flags}\index{use flags!default setting}
\index{package!dev-libs/openssl}\index{package!net-misc/openssh}
\index{use flag!hpn}\index{use flag!tls-heartbeat}

The council discussed default USE flags, in-particular including those
of openssl and openssh (\bug{507130} and \bug{507210}).  The council 
felt that this should be left to the maintainer's discretion.

\vote{Per existing policy, the council leaves the default USE flags to the
 discretion of the maintainer, but encourages following upstream when
 there is no reason to do otherwise.}{Aye: dberkholz, rich0, scarabeus, ulm;

\agendaitem{Non-upstream pkg-config}
\index{package!dev-util/pkgconfig}

The council felt unanimously that an outright ban on non-upstream
pkg-config files was inappropriate.  It was felt that any sensible
policy would leave it to the maintainer's discretion.  The exact wording
of the recommendations was deferred to the lists/etc.

\vote{The council agrees to revise the devmanual policy regarding pkg-config
 files to set guidelines for non-upstream pkg-config files but to leave
 the inclusion up to the maintainer's discretion.  Wording will be
 worked out following the meeting, and in the meantime the changes
 introduced in \bug{445130} will be reverted.}{Aye: blueness, dberkholz, rich0, 
scarabeus, ulm}
