\agendaitem{Approve wording of PMS for EAPI 3}
\index{EAPI!3}\index{EAPI!3!approval}

This call for approval comes from the perspective that package manager 
developers currently do not know the specifics of what to code for EAPI 3. With 
this approved package manager developers can write code and testcases for each 
feature and know that the specifics of each feature is final(some features may 
be removed however).

Conclusion: Approved, EAPI 3 specifications have been merged to the main PMS
repository. EAPI 3 will be tagged when developers are able to use it.


\agendaitem{Vote on GLEP 54}
\index{GLEP!54!approval}

This vote was called for by \dev{dertobi123}. The vote was on whether to 
approve \glep{54} conditional on whether  is passed. The reason for this is 
that GLEP 54 is unimplementable without the problems mentioned in \glep{55} 
being solved.

Conclusion: Conditionally approved on whether \glep{55} is approved.


\agendaitem{Vote on GLEP 55}

A vote was required on \glep{55} since \glep{54} was already passed conditional 
on this vote. 

Conclusion: After quite a bit of confusion in the voting (people changing their
votes), a tie (3-3) vote was reached. Therefore, no decision was reached. This 
vote will be brought up again next meeting so that the tie can be broken 
(hopefully with everyone present).


\agendaitem{Discussion of dropping static libraries automatically}
\index{static libraries}\index{libraries!static}\index{EAPI!4}

\dev{loki_val} asked the council to discuss the ability to automatically drop 
static libraries from installs and the best way to do so.

Conclusion: The council unanimously voted that developers, at their discretion, 
can drop static libraries but it will not be the default. The council also 
expressed support for an EAPI 4 proposal to automatically disable static 
libraries via configure options.
