Agenda call: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{6ca56e28c0a22b09ebe076ac57defcfd}

Agenda announcement: \agoref{gentoo-dev}{b3ae2dcfe00504d0d5f8ce9abb196176}


\agendaitem{Vacant council seat}
\index{council!members}

Should \dev{leio} fill the vacant council seat?

Since \dev{halcy0n} resigned from the council there is a vacant seat. Since 
\dev{leio} is ranked next from the last election, he is eligible to fill the 
seat.

Conclusion: \dev{leio} is unanimously approved for the council.


\agendaitem{GLEP 55}

There had been quite a bit of discussion on the topic of \glep{55} recently.
Within hours of the council meeting new proposals were being proposed and 
discussion was ongoing. Also during the council meeting a lengthy discussion 
resulted.

Conclusion: No decision as of yet. \dev{ciaranm} and \dev{zmedico} volunteered 
to benchmark the various proposals on the package managers they maintain 
(paludis and portage, respectively). \dev{betelgeuse} will assist with the 
portage benchmarks. \dev{dev-zero} and \dev{antarus} will write up a comparison 
of the various proposals and their various advantages and disadvantages within a 
week.


\agendaitem{GLEP 54}

There had been some discussion regarding \glep{54} on gentoo-dev since the last 
meeting, though no consensus or agreement had been reached (surprise!).

Conclusion: \dev{tanderson} and \dev{lu_zero} will write up a comparison of the 
advantages and disadvantages of the two proposals (-scm and _live). This will 
be completed within a week.

            
\agendaitem{Overlay Masking in Repositories}
\index{package.unmask}\index{overlays}

\dev{ferringb} asked for discussion for when overlays attempt to unmask 
packages provided by the master repository (gentoo-x86). Because this is only 
available in portage (it is contrary to PMS), Brian thought it should not be 
allowed.

Numerous suggestions were made to the effect that if a standardized set format 
was agreed upon for repositories and package.unmask was allowed to contain 
sets, then this problem would be fixed.

Conclusion: No decision, as only discussion was requested. \dev{leio} will 
follow up on this with discussion on gentoo-dev.
