+\agendaitem{Portage changing behaviour without EAPI bumps}
+\index{portage}\index{PMS}
+
+ David Leverton(dleverton) requested that the council mandate that portage
+ is not allowed to change behaviour that is specified in PMS, as has
+ occurred a few times in the past.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ The council decided that if PMS-conflicting changes occur in
+ package managers then the council can mandate that versions that
+ conflict will be masked. The council may take into account
+ extenuating circumstances.
+
+\agendaitem{EAPI 3}
+\index{EAPI!3}
+
+ EAPI 3's features have been finalized and its final approval is
+ pending portage support for the most important features. Some less
+ critical features may be removed if they cannot be accomplished in
+ a reasonable timeframe and are holding up the introduction of the
+ critical features. This summary of features lists only those features
+ discussed on the April 23 meeting of the Gentoo Council.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item
+ New utility functions:
+'Doexample'/'Doinclude'\index{doexample}\index{doinclude}
+ Some council members believed that adding these utility functions
+ would complicate things for new ebuild authors while not providing
+ any especially needed features.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Voted to not be included in EAPI 3.
+ \item
+ Ban $\vert\vert$ ( use? ( ... ) ... ) \index{$\vert\vert$
+ dependencies}\index{dependencies!$\vert\vert$}
+
+ Mart Raudsepp(leio) argued that banning such constructs is
+ strictly a QA issue and shouldn't be covered by PMS, while others
+ argued that there are no valid use cases for the construct and
+ that you need appropriate rules to parse RDEPEND/DEPEND.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ It was decided that a repoman warning would be most
+ appropriate for this case and that the topic of banning it in
+ an EAPI can be revisited for EAPI 4.
+ \item
+ Ban 'dohard'\index{dohard}
+
+ Currently dohard cannot be guaranteed to work across filesystems
+ and few packages use it.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Voted to be banned in EAPI 3.
+ \item
+ New econf options,
+ '--disable-dependency-tracking' / '--enable-fast-install'
+ \index{disable-dependency-tracking}\index{enable-fast-install}
+
+ The addition of '--enable-fast-install' was opposed because it is
+ already a libtool default and as such is useless. No arguments
+ were made against '--disable-dependency-tracking'.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ '--disable-dependency-tracking' was voted in, while
+ '--enable-fast-install' was voted out.
+ \item
+ Add --if-compressed option to unpack(). \index{if-compressed} \index{unpack}
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Voted to be not included in EAPI 3.
+
+ \item
+ Slot Operator Dependencies(:= and :*) \index{slot operators}
+ \index{dependencies!:=}\index{dependencies!:*}
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Voted to be included in EAPI 3. Mart Raudsepp has remaining
+ queries about the final syntax.

+\agendaitem{Approve wording of PMS for EAPI 3}
+\index{EAPI!3}\index{EAPI!3!approval}
+
+ This call for approval comes from the perspective that package manager
+ developers currently do not know the specifics of what to code for
+ EAPI 3. With this approved package manager developers can write code
+ and testcases for each feature and know that the specifics of each
+ feature is final(some features may be removed however).
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Approved, EAPI 3 specifications have been merged to the main PMS
+ repository. EAPI 3 will be tagged when developers are able to use
+ it.
+
+
+\agendaitem{Vote on GLEP 54}
+\index{GLEP!54!approval}
+
+ This vote was called for by dertobi123. The vote was on whether to
+ approve \glep{54} conditional on whether is passed. The reason
+ for this is that \glep{54} is unimplementable without the problems
+ mentioned in \glep{55} being solved.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ Conditionally approved on whether \glep{55} is approved.
+
+\agendaitem{Vote on GLEP 55}
+ A vote was required on this GLEP since \glep{54} was already passed
+ conditional on this vote.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ After quite a bit of confusion in the voting (people changing their
+ votes), a tie(3-3) vote was reached. Therefore, no decision was
+ reached. This vote will be brought up again next meeting so that
+ the tie can be broken(hopefully with everyone present).

+\agendaitem{Discussion of dropping static libraries automatically}

+
+ Peter Alfredsen(loki_val) asked the council to discuss the ability to
+ automatically drop static libraries from installs and the best way to
+ do so.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ The council unanimously voted that developers, at their

+\agendaitem{Removal of Old Eclasses}
+\index{eclasses!removal}
+
+ Jorge(jmbsvicetto) requested that the council discuss removing
+ eclasses from the tree that are no longer needed. The problem with
+ this is that old(<2.1.4) portage versions used the eclasses from the
+ tree to run uninstall phases. Thus, the removal of eclasses would
+ break users who have a portage older than 2.1.4.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ The council voted that to remove eclasses devs should take the
+ following steps:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item
+ Deprecate eclasses.
+ \item
+ Removal of all functionality relating to installing.
+ \item
+ After two years the eclass may be removed.
+\end{enumerate}
+ Thomas Anderson(tanderson) will write up patches for devmanual so
+ that this policy is documented.
+
+
+\agendaitem{Handling EAPI Versioning in a forwards-compatible way}
+
+Various developers have raised concerns that \glep{55} only describes a
+ solution and doesn't clearly show the problems being solved (if any).
+ Luca (lu_zero) mentioned a few things in the "Problem" section that he
+ thought could be clarified, listed below:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item
+ For "Change the behaviour of inherit in any way", it would be
+ useful to include references to bugs where requested inherit
+ changes would require \glep{55}.
+\item
+ For "Add new global scope functions in any way", defining
+ 'Sane'.
+\item
+ For "Extend versioning rules in an EAPI", removal of all
+ mentions of \glep{54} would remove circularity. In addition,
+ mentioning other version format changes would be useful.
+\item
+ For "Use newer bash features", listing useful (including
+ in-tree) bash features not available in the bash version mandated
+ by PMS would be useful.\index{bash!features}
+\end{enumerate}
+
+ Conclusion:
+ The council voted on whether they recognized the problem that
+\glep{55} is attempting to solve is real. The vote was affirmative in
+ recognition of the problem with two abstentions(leio and ulm). '
+ Cardoe was no longer at the meeting for this vote and will post
+ his voteon-list.

+ Zac Medico(zmedico) commented that while no progress had been made, a

+\end{enumerate}

+ Doug Goldstein(Cardoe) because it had not been put to a council vote as

+

+\agendaitem{Define EAPI development/deployment cycles}

+Reference: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{d3a4758c455fded00608e891f525d3cc}
+
+ Various Council members expressed support for Ciaran McCreesh's EAPI
+ development guidelines. However, the discussion
+ reached no conclusion and quickly spiraled into a discussion of the
+ removal of Ciaran McCreesh's bugzilla privileges.
+
+
+\agendaitem{Removal of Ciaran McCreesh's (ciaranm) bugzilla permissions}
+
+ At some point in the last year ciaranm's bugzilla permissions were
+ removed. He filed a bug about the issue (\bug{273759}) and was talking
+about
+ moving PMS off of Gentoo Infrastructure, a move that some council
+ members were strongly opposed to. When asked about the permissions,
+ Ciaran had no objections to waiting a few days for the infra to complete
+ an investigation into who removed the access and for what reason.
+
+ Conclusion:
+ The council voted to reinstate Ciaran's editbugs privileges. Ned
+ Ludd (solar) noted that infra will investigate who removed the privileges
+ in the first place, and asked for not changing bugzilla privileges before
+ this is completed.

+\agendaitem{EAPI-3 status}
+
+The ETA of EAPI-3, see \bug{273620}, is roughly 3 months. The currently

+EAPI-3 items have no significant benefits to warrant a new EAPI with
+only the items that are already implemented.

+
+The council majority voted for a quick prefix-specific EAPI bump,

+behaviour can be relied upon from all compliant package managers.
+The exact behaviour needs to still get documented, however.
