\summary{2008}{4}{10} \agendaitem{Document of being an active developer} \index{developer certificate} Last month: No updates Updates: No updates \agendaitem{Slacker arches} \index{arches!slacking} 3 months ago: vapier will work on rich0's suggestion and repost it for discussion on -dev ML Last month: vapier said he was going to work on it this weekend. Updates: vapier said he's finishing it up and will have it posted tonight. \agendaitem{GLEP 46: Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml} \index{GLEP!46!approval} Reference: \glep{46} 2 months ago: Caveat on approval about allowed protocols Updates: Restriction to http/https has been dropped as pointed out by council members (amne and Flameeyes if I'm right). The point for restricting the URLs to the mentioned protocols was that they shouldn't link to automatically updated ressources. This has been replaced by an explicit specification and a recommendation that http/http should be favoured over ftp/svn/gopher/etc to make the implementation for automated update discovery tools easier (they should of course ignore URLs they can't handle). Approved. \agendaitem{Minimal activity for ebuild devs} \index{developers!minimal activity} Current is 1 commit every 60 days. Should it be higher? Agreement was hard to find. Some people thought it should be 1 commit / week, others said that people have busy lives and questioned the benefits. A number of people did agree that we should trust the judgment of the undertakers. dberkholz suggested that low commit rates may not maintain the quality of the committer, and we should more carefully review the commits of these people. Ways to track commit stats of various sorts came up, such as cia.vc and ohloh. cia seems to have too much downtime to rely on. ciaranm talked with ohloh people already. ohloh would require some modifications to ohcount to recognize ebuilds and eclasses, and a full copy of the cvs repository to start, but it seems worth exploring. Betelgeuse said he would tar up a copy of the gentoo-x86 repo. \agendaitem{Initial comments on PMS} \index{PMS}\index{EAPI!kdebuild-1} Reference: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/pms.git Are there any major changes needed, or just tuning details? The council voted that kdebuild-1 and other unapproved EAPIs could not be in an approved PMS document. The spec isn't a place for proposals or things that will never be submitted for approval by the council. It's a specification, a reference of what is allowed in the main tree. \agendaitem{Open floor} \index{project!devrel} blackace asked about complaints against philantrop, eroyf, and spb. vapier referred that to devrel. Betelgeuse said that there's been no rejection or action on those complaints yet, and internal discussion is ongoing. Philantrop complained that he hadn't heard anything about complaints, and Betelgeuse said that since some members already left, he didn't want to take matters into his own hands in sharing private information.
