+\vote{Portage supports EAPI 5 since version 2.1.11.19.
+Therefore EAPI 5 is allowed for ebuilds in the tree. The Council likes to note
+that EAPI 5 is not allowed to be used for stable ebuilds yet, for as
+long as a Portage supporting it is not marked stable.}{unanimous yes}

+\begin{enumerate}[label=\alph*)]
+ \item
+ Drop the limitation entirely (possibly in a future EAPI).
+ \item
+ Make it stricter, i.e. disallow package names ending in a hyphen
+ followed by anything that looks like a valid PVR. This is current
+ Portage behaviour, and the tree complies with it, too.
+ \item
+ Leave the spec as it is (and make Portage comply with it).
+ \item
+ Require a) for Package managers and b) by tree policy.
+ Practically, this would mean that repoman would reject "foo-1" as
+ package name, but the rest of Portage would accept it.
+\end{enumerate}
+}{By majority, option b) was chosen. This means the specification (PMS)
+has to be adapted to make it stricter on package names, see above linked bug
+attachment.}

+\bug{383467}:
+grobian and scarabeus will try to sort this thing out with jmbsvicetto at
+LinuxDays Prague, which will take place 20th and 21st of October 2012.

+\index{unified dependencies}
+
+chainsaw and williamh informed us about developments on udev at the
+linux kernel mailing lists, see \url{https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/303}, and
+possible actions that follow up from there.
+
+_AxS_ requested quasi-consensus on in_iuse functionality; an EAPI 6
+feature was suggested.
+
+_AxS_ asked the Council if they knew anything about a git rollout by
+infra, however, since this is infra domain, the Council doesn't know or
+control this.
+
+ferringb wanted to have the Council take a look at the current unified
+dependencies discussion. It was pushed for the next agenda, to have
+some preparation necessary to discuss the topic in a clear and directed
+manner.
