==============================

Code of Conduct enforcement
---------------------------
Last month:
Council members agreed on the direction.
dberkholz will provide additional details on -council ML
Updates:
dberkholz posted a simple suggestion to -council last night:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-council/msg_ba125098c929ea31f34051dfb009d436.xml
The basic idea is to just promote individual devs responding to
people who are being jerks. Privately, unless things get out of
hand.
Council supported the implementation.
dberkholz will get things going.
Document of being an active developer
-------------------------------------
Last month:
dberkholz and araujo will look into a scribus based template.
Devrel will have to generate a signing key for these purposes.
Updates:
araujo was working on a script to automatically insert data
into XML
in scribus or inkscape formats. He said he would work on it
this weekend.
Template file on hold pending format decision from script
Any news from devrel on key? dberkholz pinged musikc for an
update.
Slacker arches
--------------
Last month:
vapier will work on rich0's suggestion and repost it for
discussion on -dev ML
Updates:
No changes.
GLEP 54: scm package version suffix
-----------------------------------
Last month:

Updates:
No discussion on -dev. No resubmission to council.
GLEP 55: Use EAPI-suffixed ebuilds (.ebuild-EAPI)
-------------------------------------------------

New topics
==========
GLEP 46: Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml
--------------------------------------------
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0046.html
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_46d474d621455bc204654dc483e87cc5.xml
Approved, with a caveat
Questions were raised about requiring http:// and https:// only.
What about ftp:// ? What about no limitation, and requiring
tools to throw out protocols they don't recognize?
Why is that restriction there?
Once those questions are resolved, it will be finalized.
EAPI=1: Where is the approved specification?
--------------------------------------------
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_e1b4a369534e30b8a64c6c6429cfe729.xml
A long discussion was had about whether we should continue using
EAPI=1 when we don't have EAPI=0 approved, reverting EAPI=1, and the
value of specifications in producing quality code. People generally
agreed about not adding any new EAPIs until the PMS for EAPI=0 is
approved, but there wasn't agreement on changing anything about
EAPI=1.
To make forward progress, Halcy0n agreed to work on getting the PMS
ready for EAPI=0. He asked for anyone else interested to contact him
so we can get it done and approved ASAP.
Halcy0n will give us an update at the next council meeting.
