leio: here
lu_zero: absent(?, waiting for feedback), 37 minutes late
tanderson(secretary): here
Topics:
===========
EAPI-3 Proposals:
Note: The following two proposals were discussed before it was realized
that there was not sufficient time to discuss all of them. At that point a
call for objections to any of the proposals found at [1] was asked for,
and none were made.
- [flag(+/-)] USE dependencies
This may be needed when one wishes to depend on a package with a
certain USE flag but if the USE flag is not present in that package
assume it is on or off(+ and - respectively).
Conclusion:
Approved for the draft.
- New phase: pkg_pretend
This phase is most useful for displaying conflicting USE flags at
dependency resolution time(pretend), though it has various other uses
so that errors about installing the package can be displayed before
installation of packages begin.
Conclusion:
Approved for the draft.
Technical Issues:
- GLEP 54
Thomas(tanderson) sent out a comparison of GLEP 54 and the liveebuild
proposals.
Among those discussing GLEP 54 there was a general consensus that
there was nothing wrong with it as a first step to get correct
ordering. Luca(lu_zero) commented that all he was concerned about was
that there was not enough 'meat' to the GLEP.
Conclusion:
No decision yet, Doug(Cardoe) and Luca(lu_zero) intend to write a
GLEP to handle the second part of the problem(making the revision
available to ebuilds/package manager/users.
- GLEP 55
Petteri, Zac, and Ciaran were supposed to benchmark the various
proposals and report back. Zac did not write the code for portage so
Petteri had nothing to report on this issue. Ciaran commented that
the solutions other than GLEP 55 had a 50% slowdown in the valid cache
situation compared to GLEP55, but did not post the raw numbers or the
patches used.
Open Floor:
===========
- Migration of KEYWORDS from ebuilds to profiles:
Ned Ludd(solar) brought this up, but it came up in the middle of agenda
items so was not talked about much. Some points were made that such a scheme
would require a git conversion, but nothing was agreed upon because there
was too little time.
