Bug#846002: Call for votes on resolution for #846002 (blends-tasks)
I call for votes on the following resolution with regards to #846002: RESOLUTION Background The blends-tasks package was uploaded in April 2016 setting its priority to important. The result of this change was that the package started getting automatically installed by debootstrap, with the intended effect of causing the list of tasks shipped by the package to be displayed by tasksel in the debian-installer. Even though the debian-installer maintainer complained in May 2016 that he did not agree with this approach with regards to including external packages in the default tasksel screen, the important priority remains until today. In December 2016, changes were made in the tasksel package so that it no longer automatically displays external tasks as part of the debian-installer. The current state is that chroots created by debootstrap in unstable or testing include the blends-tasks package, although the shipped tasks are not getting displayed during the default installation. In #846002, the Technical Committee was asked by Holger Levsen to rule on the priority of the blends-tasks package. In the discussion that followed, the Committee was asked by Ole Streicher to additionally rule on whether the Blends selection should be part of the Debian Stretch installer and who should maintain the list of options displayed to the user in the future. Using the power of the Technical Committee to make a decision when asked to do so (§6.1.3): 1. We acknowledge that the decision of which tasks to display during installation falls within the jurisdiction of the debian-installer maintainers. 2. In the Committee's opinion the use of important priority is not appropriate for the blends-tasks package according to the definition in the Debian policy (§2.5). As it was set only as a means to an end, and since it no longer does what was intended, we recommend that this change gets reverted. 3. We encourage the debian-installer maintainers to work together with other teams -including the blends-tasks maintainers- to provide useful and popular package selections through the debian-installer in future releases. END OF RESOLUTION Please vote [A] for acknowledging that this is under the jurisdiction of the debian-installer maintainers, and [FD] for Further Discussion. -- Regards, Marga signature.asc Description: Digital signature
