This is your one-day friendly reminder ! The monthly Gentoo Council
meeting is tomorrow in #gentoo-council on irc.freenode.net. See the
channel topic for the exact time (but it's probably 2000 UTC).
If you're supposed to show up, please show up. If you're not supposed
to show up, then show up anyways and watch your Council monkeys dance
for you.
For more info on the Gentoo Council, feel free to browse our homepage:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/
Reiterating the early request, I'd like the council to please discuss
the current status of PMS, if the running of it satisfys the councils
requirements of a *neutral* standard, if the proposed spec actually
meets said standards, and if said spec is actually going to be
approved sometimes this side of '09.
Effectively, we've watched it essentially progress into a standard
that effectively only the paludis folk are adherent to (if in doubt,
ask portage folk, my sending this mail is indicative of the pkgcore
standpoint)- it's about time the council comment upon it in light of
the general view.
Yes, ciaran shall comment. My request still stands.
Thanks,
~harring
I'd honestly like to see an official PMS project page i.e.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/pms/
On this page it'd be nice if there was an official link to the current
PMS instead of having to rely on grabbing it from random locations
i.e. d.g.o/~coldwind/ or d.g.o/~spb/
Allow me to clarify a bit more. I'd like to see a collaborative website
that developers for all actively maintained package managers can
contribute to and update providing details about compatibility and
implementation of the PMS and future additions or revisions of the PMS
that will be put forth before the Gentoo Council.
I agree with Cardoe, the specification should be made as useful as
possible to the package maintainers, as accessible as possible by every
interested party and possibly have a regression/conformance test built
in (such a small tree with dummy ebuilds and eclasses) to allow
automated validation. Stronger and well defined versioning should help
as well.
