+
+The council decided that removing la files is the right thing to do,
+	but the whole thing will be taken to the -dev ML to allow devs to
+	express their opinions/objections, if any. Jorge will handle this.
+
+	The removal will only happen after portage-2.1.9 or later is
+	stabilized, since this is the first version that can fix la files
+	automatically.
+
+	At that time, a news item will be released to inform users on how to

+\agendaitem{slacking arches}
+\index{arches!slacking}
+
+This subject was proposed by scarabeus. As he wasn't around, the remaining 
+council
+	members shifted the focus to making sure there is enough relevant hardware available
+	to developers to allow arch team work and questioned whether emulation could help
+	on this, at least for non core parts on a trial basis.
+
+	Roy (NeddySeagoon) asked what hardware is needed and whether there should be a
+	funding application to the Foundation. Tony mentioned some hardware that could
+	be used by the ppc64 team and Jorge noted that mainstream arches such as amd64
+	and x86 may also want to make a request.
+
+	Finally, there was a mention that if council cared about this issue, one member
+	could talk to arch teams to determine the hardware requirements and that we could
+	take this opportunity to consider automated test boxes and rethink the boxes for
+	the weekly builds. This issue was sent back to the ml for further debate.

+
+
+Jorge mentioned that portage-2.1.9* is now marked stable, but that he failed to

+	the previous proposal made by Diego (flameeyes). He suggested the other council
+	members that the council could either set a deadline to get a news item submitted
+	for review in the dev ml after which the la files removal "embargo" would be
+	dropped or just drop the "embargo" immediately and deal with the consequences.
+
+	After some discussion there was a vote on "the council will drop the "embargo" on
+	la file removal if no one submits to the dev ml a news item proposal about this
+	issue before 2359 UTC next Wednesday". There were 3 yes votes and 2 no votes on

+\agendaitem{Arfrever's suggestions for EAPI 4}
+\index{EAPI!4}\index{pkg_required_use}\index{GLEP!55}
+
+Reference: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{bec5db8373fca0271fcadf0cd55724e8}
+
+After some confusion caused by Jorge introducing the pkg_required_use topic
+	during the discussion of this topic, the council members agreed to go over each
+	of the points in Arfrever's email. Brian took the occasion to go over 
+each of
+	the points to finally get the discussion about them on record.
+
+Problem \#1: USE flags cannot contain "." characters.
+		
+		Brian argued that having "." on use flags is simply an aesthetic issue. Furthermore,
+		use flags are used all over the tree and this could cause backward compatibility
+		issues. Thus this would provide a minor gain, but would require much pain.
+
+		Even though the council members agree that it would be possible to find ways to allow
+		for the use of "." in use flags and that the change itself would be welcome, they
+		agreed that this should only be addressed as part of a major restructuring of use
+		flags, like the introduction of use groups. Petteri opened 
+\bug{349021} for this.
+		
+		The council voted against the proposed solution for this problem with 5 votes no.
+
+Problem \#2: Files in profiles cannot use features from newer EAPIs.
+
+		Brian argued that Arfrever's proposal for "-\$\{EAPI\}" 
+extension files is a nightmare
+		and that it relied on developers to get things right across multiple eapi versions.
+		Jorge and Alex argued that this proposal is another variation of GLEP55 and that
+		they have expressed their dislike for it before.
+
+		The council voted against both proposed solutions for this problem with 5 votes no
+		for the 1st solution and 4 votes no and 1 defer to ml for the 2nd solution.
+
+		During this discussion there was a "detour" into the issue of migrating the EAPI of
+		the base profiles, moving trouble files like package.mask to real profiles and how
+		to ensure a clean upgrade path for old installs. Alex talked about an automated
+		incremental process with switches of rsync sources over time and Brian mentioned the
+		use of repository format markers. This discussion was pushed back to the ml.
+
+Problem \#3: repoman doesn't allow stable packages to have optional 
+dependencies on unstable
+	packages (usually until these packages are stabilized).
+
+		Brian argued that both proposed solutions for this problem would cause a maintenance
+		"hell" and would have a noticeable repoman run-time impact. Petteri noted he saw a
+		problem needing a solution in here and Jorge argued that the solutions presented need
+		a debate but that they are not tied to the presented problem.
+
+		During the discussion Petteri asked about a 3rd option, unstable use flags, and Jorge
+		argued that the separate profiles for stable / unstable tree could make sense if we got
+		back to the idea of moving KEYWORDS out of ebuilds.
+		
+		In the end the council voted with 5 no votes for both solutions presented in point 3
+		to be part of the EAPI-4 specification.
+
+
+\agendaitem{pkg_required_use}
+\index{pkg_required_use}
+
+
+	After a first attempt to discuss this during the previous point, the council addressed this
+	issue after Ulrich (ulm) recalled he requested it to be added to the topic, which Jorge forgot
+	to do.
+	
+	Following some debate about this issue, including requested feedback from both Zac (zmedico)
+	and Brian, the council voted on having EAPI-4 introduce a pkg_required_use function to be
+	called by the PM when it can't fulfill the required_use constraints with 4 no votes and 1
+	yes vote. The council members accepted having an EAPI-4.1 with pkg_required_use if / when
+	there is a need for it in the tree.
+
+	The council also expressed the desire to get a final vote on EAPI-4 before the end of the
+	year. Petteri will propose a schedule to get EAPI-4 voted through email.
+
+
+\agendaitem{Open bugs}
+	
+	As the meeting lasted over 2 hours, the productivity was becoming low and Petteri had to
+	leave, the review of the open bugs was pushed for next meeting.
+
+

+\agendaitem{Open floor - listen to the community}
