Architectures without teams
===========================
After a short discussion of the status of architectures without teams,
the council accepted the following two motions:
- Vote: Introduction of a new architecture keyword requires an RFC in
the gentoo-dev mailing list and creation of a project for the
architecture team.
Accepted unanimously.
- Vote: Arches that currently don't have a project page are required
to create one within one month from now.
Accepted unanimously.
Improving support for minor arches
==================================
The established order of profiles, namely "stable" > "dev" > "exp", is
acknowledged by council members. It is suggested to document this,
e.g., in the devmanual.
Profile changes
===============
The recent introduction of new profiles is discussed. There is
consensus that profile changes should be well documented and announced
to users. It is also noted that >=eselect-1.4.11 displays profiles'
status and prevents accidental selection of an "exp" profile.
No motion is brought forward; further discussion can take place on
mailing lists.
Open bugs with council involvement
==================================
- Bug 635344 "[TRACKER] manifest-hashes replacement":
Work in progress.
- Bug 637328 "GLEP 14 needs to be updated":
The security team is working on an update.
- Bug 642072 "Joint venture to deal with copyright issues":
This is mostly a foundation matter, and will be discussed in the
upcoming joint meeting of council and foundation.
Open floor
==========
Further discussion of the status of minor architectures takes place.
In particular, arm64, mips, m68k, and sh are mentioned.
