+
+mgorny shortly presented the einstalldocs() function proposed for
+EAPI 6. The purpose of this is to split off the doc-install part from
+default src_install and make it available to ebuilds as a function.
+For existing EAPIs, a function of the same name would be added to
+eutils.eclass. 
+
+\vote{Vote for approval of the einstalldocs() implementation,
+as shown in the reference.}{
+Accepted unanimously (6 yes votes).}
+
+(Note added in proof: The implementation should use double quotes
+instead of single quotes around "declare -a", see 
+http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/87642/focus=87804 (dead link)).

+\end{itemize}
+
+The council was asked to vote if alpha, ia64, m68k, s390, sh, and
+sparc should be dropped to unstable keywords. Alternatively, only the
+packages pulled in by the system set could be stable for these
+architectures. In the council's discussion it was argued that arch
+testing is a lot of work and that some arch teams cannot keep up.
+It was also pointed out that dropping keywords to unstable is an
+action that is hard to revert, because restoring a consistent stable
+dependency tree will require retesting of many packages.
+--- Decision deferred to next meeting.

+
+The council discussed if the contents of the VDB should be specified
+for interoperability between utilities, either in the PMS or possibly
+in a separate document. Alternatively, package managers could provide
+an abstraction layer to make some of the VDB's information available.
+Finally, the following vote was taken:
+
+\vote{The council recommends that package managers export the NEEDED.ELF.2
+information for interoperability between utilities.}{
+Accepted with 6 yes votes and 1 abstention.}
+
+
+\agendaitem{Open floor}
+
+No issues were brought up to the council.
