Hi all, We've got the following items pending: - 353277, 353278: "ndiswrapper should be in contrib" Owned by Raul These were forwarded to the ctte on 20th Feb 2006, by Robert Millan. I proposed a resolution on this on 7th Mar 2006, in http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2006/03/msg00037.html Steve Langasek (then ctte chair) proposed deferring a vote on that pending a version of Raul's proposal able to be voted on, which afaik still hasn't happened. There were four votes on my proposal at the time: in favour from me and Manoj, against from Ian and Raul. http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2006/03/msg00039.html ndiswrapper currently remains in main. - 385665: "fluidsynth needs non-free midi sound bank to function" No owner Forwarded to the ctte on 20th Sep 2006, by Steinar H. Gunderson. Last response on 28th Sep 2006 by Guenter Geiger includes what appears to be instructions on how to create sound fonts using free tools. Do we consider that sufficient evidence that it doesn't need non-free stuff? - 341839: "md5sum output format violates tech-ctte decision" Owned by: Ian Forwarded to the ctte on 16th Dec 2005, by Peter Eisentraut "echo | md5sum" outputs "68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 -" instead of just "68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940". This matches the formats used by upstream, and by related tools such as sha1sum, sha256sum and sha512sum, as well as the output in current stable, testing and unstable. I think we should rescind the previous decision in favour of existing practice. - 366938: "svn commit access to the d-i repo ..." Owned by: Anthony Sent to the ctte on the 12th May 2006 Andi proposed a resolution to endorse the d-i team's control over the repository: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366938;msg=145 I suggest we vote on that. - 367709: "requesting libstdc++ .udeb [for non-d-i use]" Owned by: Anthony Sent to the ctte on 17th May 2006 by Sven Luther We have statements from the d-i team that they don't want non-d-i packages building udebs for the debian-installer/main component, and and from the gcc maintainer that he doesn't want to build extra packages. Andi proposed a resolution to not use the d-i section of the archive for this, and to encourage embedded people to keep looking into good formats: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367709;msg=20 I suggest we vote on that. - 402793: tech-ctte: gst-ffmpeg links with its own private ffmpeg copy Not owned Sent to the ctte on 12th Dec 2006 by Josselin Mouette Steve indicated that he didn't think the maintainer should be overriden without the security team or release team indicating it's unsupportable in its current state on 15th Dec. There's been no followup since. I suggest we form that into a proposal and vote on it. Cheers, aj
