As Noah stated, it's kind of a gray area and is something you'll likely need to adjust as you move forward, learn what works and doesn't, etc… A lot of it can depend exactly on how it's presented in the minutes/log. If it was presented more like: No one present has time to look at other options for RPM packaging right now so planning on sticking with waf for now. then it wouldn't have raised any red flags to me at all. That shows that its more of a "remain status quo" for now, but also allows others that were not on the irc chat to say "hey, I have some time, can I help out with that" or something. Keeps the door open. The "AGREED" wording just seems to imply "we're doing this, discussion closed" type thing which really isn't the case. -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org - http://dankulp.com/blog Talend Community Coder - http://coders.talend.com
