Well, there is nowhere policy on how to handle GLEPs that "will be accepted if the following changes are made". You say it should have been republished to -dev. We said, "we accept it but next time it should be published to -dev at least a week before". > The subdomain and sharing of an access for r/o cvs access was first > introduced in the revised version of the GLEP which was sent out the day > before the vote. In fact it's been introduced 4 days before, on Nov 11. Then on Nov 12, Homer Parker submitted the revised GLEP to the council agenda. Then, on Nov 14, realizing some people thought it should have been resubmitted before, he posted it to -dev. On Nov 15, not one single complain was made on the subject of the email subdomain. > I would have thought that the folks working on the GLEP > would consider asking infra about the logistics of that solution or that > even the council would be curious about that question as well. We have an infra team member in the council. And since no infra member contested the change to have a subdomain that was required in _October_, we thought (obviously by mistake) that it was OK for them. Our mistake was to suppose at least one infra member would read council meeting summaries. >>I won't stand (mostly) alone defending the Council handling of the >>problem, we were just trying to find the most acceptable solution, which >>is what we were elected for.

I tried, and it's not worth it. I am like two feet from the exit door, and prefer not to comment anymore on the subject, to calm down and avoid definitive decisions I would regret. -- Thierry Carrez (Koon) Operational Manager, Gentoo Linux Security Gentoo Council member -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
