Summary of the Gentoo council meeting 8 November 2015

Roll call
=================
Present:
blueness, dilfridge, jlec, k_f, rich0, ulm, williamh


1. EAPI 6 approval
=================
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/message/f78e316074897a604842fe13d2860be6

EAPI 6 got approved by unanimous vote after a series of sub questions
that were all approved. The sub questions covered that the package
manager should set a bash compatibility level, that eapply_user shall
be idempotent and must be called at least once. The feature to allow
directories for use.* and package.* entries in profiles (Bug #282296)
was deemed not ready for inclusion in EAPI 6 and consideration for the
feature is delayed until a future EAPI.

In a followup vote on bugzilla (Bug #565700) related to the same
discussion an amendment was accepted to sanitize LC_CTYPE and
LC_COLLATE settings to ensure that certain casemod operators of
Bash 4 can be used.

2. Bugs with council participation
=================
Bug #503382, but as this has been discussed before nothing new was
added in this meeting.


3. Open floor
=================
ChangeLog generation and order of entries was discussed briefly during
the open floor. Listing entries starting with older first can
potentially optimize rsync bandwidth usage in terms of incremental
addition, however it will not likely impact the current default
configurations used by portage. If the order is to be changed it was
discussed that it is important to keep consistency between the various
log files, and users are used to reading newest first in log files
historically.
