Minutes
-------
People mentioned:
aurel32: Aurelien Jarno
bal00: Hector Garcia
braindmg: Guillem Jover
nyu: Robert Millan
1) bal00 has finished porting pfctl and will start with authpf. He will
then make a package, but libbsd has to be packaged first.
2) aurel32 explained that he has finished to update gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4.
Java and ADA are disabled for all versions of gcc on kfreebsd.
Porting has to be done before trying to reenable them.
3) aurel32 has spoken with Goto Masanori at Debconf 5, and he agrees to
include our glibc patches in the Debian package. aurel32 will
continue working on glibc 2.3.5.
4) aurel32 and braindmg have spoken with James Troup about the inclusion
of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD in the Debian archive. He basically agrees,
but it would be only possible after the SCC split, which should
occurs in one month and a half.
5) aurel32 said that when kfreebsd will be an official port, it won't be
possible to have modified source packages into the archive. That means
we should have the whole toolchain built from unmodified package
sources. bal00 told we could fill RC bugs against packages that need
patches, but unfortunately has it is not a release architecture, it
won't be possible. nyu added that we need to decide whether having an
official package in debian depending on a "tainted" package (i.e.
either unreleased, or a package that in turn depends on tainted one)
has a detrimental effect on the distribution.
6) nyu explained that he ported libkvm just because gdb needs it, but he
didn't port it right and introduced a lots of dirty hacks. The entire
patch needs to be reviewed before using it for anything serious thing.
