Bug#367709: Call for vote: gcc: requesting libstdc++.udeb
I hereby call for an immediate TC vote on the question of whether a
libstdc++ udeb should be created to support the use of C++ in the
debian-installer environment, as requested by bug #367709.
The udeb structure was invented for debian-installer, and to date
Debian has not supported the use of udebs for any other purpose.
In the discussion on this issue recorded in the bug log and on our
list, it seems clear that the d-i team does not want C++ support in
the installer environment, and the gcc maintainer is reluctant to
build and support udebs that the installer team doesn't need. The
question before us is therefore whether to support or overrule the
developer responsible for our gcc packaging, and the developers
involved in the debian-installer project.
Since this vote may overrule a developer, 6.1.3 of our Constitution
requires a 3:1 majority of the TC for choice 1. However, a simple
majority will suffice for choice 2 to defeat further discussion.
In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in
the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you reach your last
choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 3. You may
skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you
make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 3).
To vote "no, no matter what" rank "Further discussion" as more
desirable than the unacceptable choices, or You may rank the "Further
discussion" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable
blank. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the Further
Discussion choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked
choices, if any.)
