== Summary ==
THL Leaving

about leaving FESCo:

Core/Extras Merge
* FESCo will wait a week before making a decision regarding the
Core Review process, to get further feedback from the
community.
* Currently waiting for the new build system (Koji), which is
still going through legal in regard to it's licensing.
Co-Maintainership
* thl worked on the proposal and adjusted the wording. He'll send
it to FESCo members for review, and then to the public mailing
lists.
cvs-import
* The plan is to modify cvs-import to 1) give a warning 2) provide
a diff 3) make a cvs comment mandatory.
Incompatible package upgrade policy
* Maintainers should be aware of the effects that changes to their
packages may have, and should alert other maintainers on the
mailing list of updates which contain ABI or API changes which
may cause dependency problems for other packages. This is
covered in the Maintainer Responsibilities policy proposal.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MaintainerResponsibilityPolicy
* In the future, the new updates system will not let repo breakage
occur.
Packaging Committee Report
* FESCo didn't have any objections to the Packaging Committee's
guidelines regarding:
1. non-pear PHP extension paths
2. desktop files -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/DesktopFiles
3. makeinstall clarification -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MakeInstall
4. Making the suggested buildroot mandatory
5. All binaries must be built from source -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SourceRequirement
6. buildrequires clarification -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/BuildRequires
MISC
* There was a discussion whether to have acl's enabled by default
on new packages.
* notting discussed that FAB had recently talked about firmware
which would require:
1. make up a license tag for non-modifiable firmware for
easy finding for users
2. modify the EULA to add an exception clause for firmware
(similar to the one currently for trademarked logos)
3. release note the eula change
4. start poking vendors
* jeremy mentioned that the bugzilla update script from
owners.list should be running every 4 hours now.
