Meeting summary
---------------
* Apologies/Admin  (jmw, 19:00:54)

* Transitions  (jmw, 19:03:06)
  * No major issues with transitions at this time.  (nthykier, 19:04:10)

  * LINK:
    https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20151102/003828.html
    (jmw, 19:06:15)
  * Multi-arch would mean rebuilding all architectures  (jmw, 19:08:35)
  * arch:all packages could not be rebuilt  (jmw, 19:09:01)
  * Build-Depends loops would need sorting out by hand  (jmw, 19:12:25)
  * AGREED: Right now, a full rebuild would not be feasible  (jmw,
    19:17:08)
  * AGREED: We should await developments in dak so we know what support
    will be like in Stretch  (jmw, 19:18:00)
  * ACTION: nthykier to voice concerns to the reproducible team
    (nthykier, 19:18:41)

* mips64el  (jmw, 19:19:21)
  * mips64el is available in sid, and could join testing  (jmw,
    19:23:51)
  * LINK: https://wiki.debian.org/ArchiveQualification/mips64el is
    helpful perhaps?  (jmw, 19:24:24)
  * imported packages should be rebuilt first  (jmw, 19:25:43)
  * ACTION: pochu contact the mips64el ports and ask about a) plans b)
    whether they want to join Stretch  (jmw, 19:27:47)
  * ACTION: pochu add mips64el to arch_qualify.html  (jmw, 19:29:10)

* Linux version in Stretch  (jmw, 19:29:52)
  * AGREED: We want Linux 4.10 in Stretch if possible to reduce the
    maintenance burden in (old)stable  (jmw, 19:44:00)
  * AGREED: Stretch freeze will be delayed by two calendar months  (jmw,
    19:48:06)
  * AGREED: Linux 4.10 will get an automatic freeze exception if it
    doesn't make the deep freeze  (jmw, 19:48:35)
  * For the avoidance of doubt, this policy applies only to linux  (jmw,
    19:49:10)
  * AGREED: Linux maintainers are encouraged to upload release
    candidates of 4.10 in sid to shake out bugs earlier  (jmw, 19:51:03)

* MySQL variants in Stretch  (jmw, 19:52:21)
  * Recent DSAs of MySQL and MariaDB went much better, and there are no
    major concerns right now  (jmw, 19:58:49)
  * Security team requirements have been published
    (<20160129193951.GA23052@pisco.westfalen.local>)  (jmw, 20:00:19)
  * Switching dependencies to MariaDB early reduces the risk of needing
    to do it in a hurry later  (jmw, 20:05:02)
  * AGREED: MySQL dependencies should be transitioned to MariaDB  (jmw,
    20:09:35)
  * MySQL could still be shipped in Stretch if there are no objections
    from the security team, but it's unlikely that dependencies would be
    switched back  (jmw, 20:10:18)
  * ACTION: jmw write to pkg-mysql-maint to get a plan formed  (jmw,
    20:10:27)

* d-d-a after meetings?  (jmw, 20:11:33)
  * AGREED: d-d-a mails to be reserved for announcements  (jmw,
    20:16:03)

* Next meeting  (jmw, 20:16:09)
  * Next meeting: 23rd March 2016  (jmw, 20:17:36)
