I hereby call for an immediate TC vote on the question of whether a libstdc++ udeb should be created to support the use of C++ in the debian-installer environment, as requested by bug #367709.
The udeb structure was invented for debian-installer, and to date Debian has not supported the use of udebs for any other purpose. In the discussion on this issue recorded in the bug log and on our list, it seems clear that the d-i team does not want C++ support in the installer environment, and the gcc maintainer is reluctant to build and support udebs that the installer team doesn't need. The question before us is therefore whether to support or overrule the developer responsible for our gcc packaging, and the developers involved in the debian-installer project. Since this vote may overrule a developer, 6.1.3 of our Constitution requires a 3:1 majority of the TC for choice 1. However, a simple majority will suffice for choice 2 to defeat further discussion. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 3. You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 3). To vote "no, no matter what" rank "Further discussion" as more desirable than the unacceptable choices, or You may rank the "Further discussion" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the Further Discussion choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked choices, if any.) - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [ ] Choice 1: a libstdc++ udeb should be created as per bug #367709 [ ] Choice 2: a libstdc++ udeb should not be created despite bug #367709 [ ] Choice 3: Further discussion - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
