Summary of Gentoo council meeting 10 April 2016

Agenda
======
1. Roll call
2. Approval of GLEP 68 [1]
3. ChangeLog files in rsync tree [2]
4. Open bugs with council involvement
5. Open floor


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

Approval of GLEP 68
===================
The format of the "lang" attribute was briefly discussed. Consensus
was to stick with two-letter language codes from ISO 639-1 for now.
This can be reconsidered when a real need for extension should arise.

- Vote: Approval of GLEP 68.
  Accepted unanimously.

ChangeLog files in rsync tree
=============================
The council discussed the benefit of providing ChangeLog files to
users, the effort needed to generate them on the infra side, and their
causing an increase of the gentoo tree's size. The recent repository
usage survey of robbat2 was considered, especially with respect to the
order of ChangeLog entries.

- Vote: "The council does not require that ChangeLogs be generated or
  distributed through the rsync system. It is at the discretion of our
  infrastructure team whether or not this service continues."
  Accepted (4 yes, 1 no, 2 abstention)

- Vote: "If ChangeLog files are provided, they must be in the order of
  newest entries first"
  Accepted (4 yes, 2 no, 1 abstention)

Open bugs with council involvement
==================================
- Bug 569914 "Missing summary for 20150727 council meeting",
  bug 571490 "Missing summary for 20151025 council meeting":
  Logs have been uploaded, summaries are in progress.

- Bug 566498 "games.eclass: use of games group needs to be removed wrt
             20151011 Council meeting",
  bug 574080 "games.eclass: Path customization needs to be removed wrt
             20151213 Council meeting",
  bug 574952 "Games team intentionally ignoring messages and bugs in
             order to stall QA and Council":
  Currently no action from council required. Leave council in CC.

- Bug 579460 "please make repoman ignore a missing "# $Id$" header line":
  No need to reiterate the decision from the 20141014 council meeting
  that CVS headers can be dropped.

Open floor
==========
No issues were brought forward.
