\index{EAPI!5}\index{EAPI!4}\index{disable-dependency-tracking}\index{econf}
\index{--disable-dependency-tracking}

Reference: \bug{211529}

As summarized in the bug by Ulrich:

So, looks like the possible options are:
\begin{enumerate}
 \item 
 Only filter the warning for now, and reiterate for EAPI 5,
		as suggested by Petteri in comment \#12.
 \item
 Change the spec as in attached patch.
 \item
 Call ./configure --help | grep disable-dependency-tracking to
		determine if the option is available (another idea from Diego).
 \item
 Remove --disable-dependency-tracking from EAPI 4 entirely.
\end{enumerate}

Petteri expressed some concern about option 3 as it would mean
changing an approved EAPI version. Brian and Jorge expressed the view
that the council can just issue a new tag and that EAPI 4 hasn't been
approved for use yet. No council member supported option 4. Brian and
Tony noted that option 2 only partially addresses the issue.

The vote turned out 6 votes for option 3 and 1 [Betelgeuse]
for option 1.

\index{EAPI!4}

Reference: \bug{322049}

Jorge asked for a clarification about the proposal to address this
bug. Brian explained that the purpose is to change EAPI 0 to 3
definition to state that use_with arg1 arg2 '' can't be  relied upon.
For EAPI 4 it can be relied on. So in EAPI 0-3, use_with arg1 arg2 ''
is treated as if there were two args, whilst in EAPI 4 it's treated as
if there were 3 arguments.

All council members approved the proposal.


\agendaitem{EAPI 4 tree usage approval}
\index{EAPI!4!approval}

The council members decided to wait for a new portage release that
will include the above modifications before approving EAPI-4 for tree
use. Some members expressed the desire to hold the aprroval until said
portage release is marked stable, but no decision was made. The issue
will be resolved and approval will be granted via email or at the next
meeting.


\agendaitem{Slacking arches}
\index{arches!slacking}

There was some discussion about this issue, but the council members
decided this needs to be discussed in the -dev ml before the council
can decide anything about this topic.
