This is achieved by introducing a new file arches.desc in profiles. After some discussion and clarification, about the corresponding user configuration as well as the impact on catalyst, the topic was tabled for further discussion on the mailing lists and revisiting at the next meeting. An additional suggestion was to add a column to the arches.desc file that specifies whether an arch is security-supported. \agendaitem{Open bugs with council involvement} \begin{itemize} \item \bug{618254}: Handling this issue was postponed; also it is actually ComRel business. \item \bug{616206}: The modifications to EAPI 6 have already been approved via a vote on the bug; the bug can be closed. \item \bug{565566}: No progress has been made. \end{itemize} \agendaitem{Mailing list moderation} \index{mailing lists!moderation}\index{mailing list!gentoo-project} \index{mailing list!gentoo-dev}\index{developer!wltjr} \index{project!comrel} Reference: \agoref{gentoo-project}{ad3bbffe2286cced97b64571edc1245d} This topic boiled down into a lengthy discussion how single participants dominate mailing list threads, inhowfar that influences Gentoo's public perception, and what could be done to improve the situation.
