Actions

 * Package purging. Seth hasn't had a chance to look at, will get to before next week
 * Account expiration. Still awaiting update from Colin
 * Sponsorship. Jeremy notes that having more regular runs of Elliot's metrics would help a ton in this.
 * Elliot says the networking for fedora stuff is about to be changing and we'll be able to start doing logins for build machines, etc.  More to come in the future.
 * Long discussion about Legacy and use of fedora systems. Greg will take to the Foundation board
 * Kernel module packaging proposal
 * General direction is good
 * File list. Jeremy feels we shouldn't paper over rpm bugs with spec magic and commits some time to looking at the rpm bug (#158577)
 * Targeting right now >= devel (FC5). Once we have things working, we'll look at backporting necessary pieces to FC4-updates
 * Use of ExclusiveArch for architectures seems reasonable
 * Creation of debuginfo packages. Might make sense to create a convenience macro.  Probably needs to be in redhat-rpm-config if so
 * Thomas asked about parallel install of kernel-devel stuff. Jeremy thinks this is fine, if not, file a bug and cc him.
 * SRPM naming... having one SRPM per kernel version is no fun for mirror space, but probably the right thing to do.
 * Requirement between userspace and kmod can probably just be version based.
 * thl will update based on feedback and we'll try to get some closure. Jeremy is going to talk with davej about it.
