Someone can clarify but don't you need to be a Foundation member to
nominate or support nominations?

Either way, all of the current Council get my nomination, plus welp
gets a second.

It hasn't been... but rather than bring politics into the discussion 
here, I'll simply refer you to the council and/or project groups/lists.

Or was that missing the sarcasm or joke tags. =8^)

Nominations aren't open yet. They will be soon (rather days than
weeks). But not yet. I have no idea why you guys rushed it but you
will have nominate again after we open if for real.

gcc-4.3 seems to be standing up well.  since the major gcc-ebuild-specific

there's any patches i'm missing (if you guys know of a bug that should be
addressed specifically in the gcc-4.3.0 ebuild, speak up now).

then move on to the gcc 4.3 tracker bug (#198121).  once this gets below a
certain critical mass (i wont know what the critical mass is until it's
been de-attained), then we'll be ~arching things.  people are recommended
to do a quick sweep of the lower hangers (many bugs have simple patches).

i'll drop in ~ppc ~amd64 ~x86 as i use those every day.  if any other arch
is happy now with things, add your ~arch to the commented out list in cvs
so i know to include it.



the x86 cld revert is in now as well as some more upstream pr fixes.  i'll 
probably let things settle for this week and pending any craziness, move 
gcc-4.3.0-r1 into ~arch in a week.  i'll prob commit some obvious gcc-4.3 
bugs at the same time.


last chance to speak up peeps.

Poke. Gimme some gcc 4.3 goodness (besides the fact that I'm using it). 
But let's slap ~arch with it.

[gentoo-dev] Re: Monthly Gentoo Council Reminder for June

2008-06-03 Thread Christian Faulhammer
Hi,

Luca Barbato [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Probably having 2-4 lines about this in the next newsletter could
 foster awareness.

 All for it.  Will you write it?
 
 Having a smarter repoman and bugzilla integration to handle 
 stabilization and keyword bugs automagically would be great but I
 think would require time (since such bugs could spare the dev some
 trips around bugzie)

 I'd like to point to app-portage/gatt again which can automate a lot of
your everyday arch work.  At least two amd64 arch testers, ranger and
myself use it regularly.  URL:http://gatt.sourceforge.net/ for
details (it is the manual, the examples section has some work-flow
snippets).

Maybe the Council should address that. Who is anyone? Developers,
Gentoo staff or _really_ anyone?

Also, I would have thought there was a requirement to have been a
developer for at least a year, just like we require mentors to have
been a developer for six months. Thoughts?

 You're confusing Foundation and Council rules.

I'm not confusing anything. I said I would have thought there was such
a requirement, which isn't the same as saying I thought there was such
a requirement. What I meant to say was - I think there should be such a
requirement.

You're confusing Foundation and Council rules. For the Council, there
aren't any restrictions on who can nominate or who can run -- GLEP 39
doesn't even include the restriction on only nominating developers.
