== Summary ==
EPEL Update
* Most of the outstanding issues are waiting on RedHat IS.
* It was brought up that EPEL should have separate guideline (e.g.
latest and greatest vs. a more stable approach), and that the
EPEL community should make this decision.
Opening Core
* FAB accepted thl's proposal on the FESCo/Core cabal merge.
Welcome to FESCo Jesse & Bill!
* f13, notting, and max will be added to the fesco-list.
FESCo-successor name issue
* It was decided to keep the name 'FESCo' after the Core/Extras
merge. thl will send an e-mail to the mailing lists announcing
this.
Encourage co-maintainership
* thl is going to send an e-mail to the mailing lists with his
proposal.
Firefox updates in stable often breaks packages
* Will look at automating rebuilds of affected packages, though
this won't before F7.
* For now, bpepple is going to form a group with other maintainers
with packages affected by Firefox updates so rebuilds are
handled more quickly.
Disallow cvs-import for everything but the initial import
* It was discussed how using cvs-import quite often overwrite
previous changes done by other maintainers.
* The initial thought on how to fix this was to modify cvs-import
to prevent this behavior, but many issues need further
discussion before acting. Further brain-storming will occur on
the mailing list, so as not to waste meeting time.
What do we want to see in the approved-message in a review bug
* People seeking sponsorship should definitely use checklist of
items reviewed, so there is documentation of their knowledge of
the packaging guidelines.
* If there is a discussion on issues in the review, then an
APPROVED only is probably ok.
Syslog-ng Patent Problems
* RedHat Legal is currently reviewing this issue.
Misc
* FESCo meeting in the future will take place in #fedora-meeting
beginning on 2007-01-25.
