\agendaitem{Change to newer Bash version in ebuilds}

\bug{431340}
\end{itemize}
Several options were discussed:
\begin{itemize}
\item Change of bash version to 4.2 could be a regular item for EAPI 6.
\item The bash update could be put into its own EAPI, to appear at least
one year after the date (2012-07-01) of EAPI parsing being supported
by stable portage.
\item Updating the bash version could be a problem for bootstrapping on
some Prefix architectures (e.g., Solaris). According to grobian, it
should be possible to handle the issue.
\end{itemize}
No action is taken for now.
\agendaitem{EAPI deprecation}
\index{EAPI!deprecation}\index{EAPI!0}\index{EAPI!1}\index{EAPI!2}
Reference: \agoref{gentoo-project}{9db8a88aed9d35a4cf629228564bf127}
In the discussion, there was neither consensus if EAPI 0 should be
considered deprecated, nor what should be the oldest EAPI that still
needs to be supported for the upgrade path of users' system.
Three votes were taken:
\vote{EAPIs 0 to 2 are no longer required for the upgrade path of users'
systems.}{Accepted unanimously.}
\vote{EAPIs 1 and 2 are discouraged. Repoman should warn about this.}{
Accepted unanimously.}
\vote{Change wording in the first question from "0 to 2" to "0 to 3".}{
Tie vote (3 yes, 3 no), therefore the motion did not pass.}
