Posted Agenda:
=================

  - Status of August stable update.

  - LSB 5.0 status: database issues, modularization, compiler 
strictness
issues mentioned by Russ, etc.


New business:
=============

Meeting opens at 11:00 with:

Jeff: Freshening update did not release due to upstream 
changes in rpm macros present and their interaction with 
~.rpmmacros and command line 'define' pass in

Stew:  As mentioned on the mailing list, getting familiar with 
doing database changes

Jeff: Modularization push -- bugs 3511 (rollup) and 3510 
(specific issues) continues

Russ: Summary of strictness toward non-standard types.  Stew: 
would anyone but LSB folks care if we emitted warnings on 
variant forms that an lsb-* variant might carp about on a 
patch vs the upstream.  Also upstreams may not want to clean 
up grotty old code (a maintenance function).  Rick: perhaps 
when there is an over-arching corporate sponsor to a project 
(here, Adobe and libtiff) there may be interest in doing such 
cleanup.  Takeaway, try to approach 'upstreams' first; no 
present action otherwise

Call ends at local 11:48
