\summary{2007}{4}{24}
Special ``impromptu'' council meeting regarding multiple version suffix use
\agendaitem{Multiple version suffixes}
\index{version suffixes}
\index{package!media-video/mplayer}\index{package!media-video/transcode}
\index{package!media-sound/alsa-driver}
A subset of council members decided today that multiple version suffixes are
illegal in the tree pending further notice. This decision can be appealed at the
next Council meeting. If there is sufficient public demand, an earlier meeting
can be held.
This decision has been made to prevent sufficient precedent for unilateral
changes to the tree structure. So far the following package versions are
considered illegal:
\begin{itemize}
\item
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4
\item
media-video/transcode-1.0.3_rc2_p20070310-r1
\end{itemize}
An illegal version specification of media-sound/alsa-driver has already been
removed from the tree.
I would like to ask the affected package maintainers to move these versions to
sane version specifications as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for this.
