🔗 Fedora Packaging Committee Meeting of {2007-09-25}

There was an abbreviated meeting this week as many members were unable to attend.

🔗 Present

  • JasonTibbitts (tibbs)
  • RexDieter (rdieter)
  • ToshioKuratomi (abadger1999)
  • VilleSkyttä (scop)

🔗 Writeups

No new guidelines this week.

🔗 Votes

There was on-list voting which carried over to IRC for a quick proposal on naming TeX packages with a prefix of "tex-" instead of the current practise of naming them after the TeX distribution in use ("tetex-" or "texlive-").

Current votes are as follows:

  • Voting for: tibbs scop f13 abadger1999 (all on-list) rdieter (on IRC)
  • Voting against: (none)

The issue will te baken up again when spot is back from vacation.

The Python Eggs guidelines are still on the table, not having been discussed by FESCo last week.

🔗 Other Discussions

There was some on-list discussion regarding virtual provides for the TeX distribution packages which carried over slightly into the IRC meeting.

[12:05:57]  <tibbs>    Anyone here for the FPC meeting?
[12:06:19]      * scop is here
[12:07:02]  <tibbs>    I'm actually conscious this week.
[12:08:09]  <rdieter>  here (mostly)
[12:08:28]  <tibbs>    Not going to get much done with three, I fear.
[12:09:41]  <tibbs>    lutter, f13, spot, abadger1999: FPC meeting?
[12:09:47]  <jeremy>   spot's on vacation
[12:09:51]  <tibbs>    Poo.
[12:09:53]  <f13>      I'm busy with other things.
[12:10:08]  <abadger1999>      here
[12:10:55]  <lutter>   tibbs: sorry .. on the phone (I'll jump in as soon as I am off)
[12:11:08]  <tibbs>    That would make five.
[12:11:29]  <tibbs>    Who called the on-list vote for the "tex-" prefix?
[12:12:07]  <abadger1999>      Spot made the proposal and I started off the voting.
[12:12:38]  <tibbs>    I think it recenved sufficient votes, but I'm not sure.
[12:13:49]  <abadger1999>      It has four +1s (tibbs, scop, f13, abadger1999) and spot proposed it but didn't explicitly vote.
[12:14:25]  <tibbs>    Five would do it but I'll hold off on passing it to FESCo until spot comes back.
[12:14:47]  <tibbs>    Somehow I missed any mention of him going away.
[12:15:02]  <rdieter>  I'm +1 to the proposal too, but think blocking on hearing from spot is a good idea too.
[12:15:14]  <tibbs>    Funny, too; vacation is when I get to work on Fedora.
[12:15:34]  <tibbs>    rdieter: I'll make a note of your vote in the minutes.
[12:18:35]  <abadger1999>      Hmm... FESCo didn't explicitly talk about anything the FPC might have passed last week.
[12:18:55]  <rdieter>  anything else for today?
[12:19:23]  <abadger1999>      Are python eggs a go or should we ping them to make sure they had a chance to see them and object.
[12:19:45]  <tibbs>    Unfortunately I wasn't with it at all last week.
[12:20:10]  <tibbs>    If FESCo didn't mention it at all then we shouldn't go ahead with it.
[12:20:42]  <tibbs>    Unfortunately Brian's out of it as well so FESCo meetings haven't been summarized for a while.
[12:20:59]  <tibbs>    rdieter: I think that's it unless someone wants to talk about the tex virtual provides.
[12:21:32]  <rdieter>  unless we're ready to vote (I don't think we are), then more discussion onlist makes sense there.
[12:21:54]  <abadger1999>      It sounds reasonable but I don't have the expertise to write the draft... I'd rather the Tex people brought it that far.
[12:22:13]  <rdieter>  +1, just no one (so far) seems willing to do that. ):
[12:24:50]  <abadger1999>      Okay.  I guess that's all.
[12:24:56]  <tibbs>    Yep, I think that's it.
[12:25:10]  <tibbs>    I'll make sure that Eggs is on FESCo's agenda this week.
