The former should be handled by the shell-tools team, the latter needs more discussion on the mailing lists.<\/p>\n<p>Then we had two hot topics. The first was the games team policy; the council clarified that the games team has in no way authority over game ebuilds maintained by other developers. In addition, the games team should elect a lead in the near future. If it doesn&#8217;t it will be considered dysfunctional. \u00a0Tim Harder (radhermit) acts as interim lead and organizes the elections.<\/p>\n<p>Next, rumors about the handling of dynamic dependencies in Portage had sparked quite a stir. The council asks the Portage team basically not to remove dynamic dependency handling before they haven&#8217;t worked out and presented a good plan how Gentoo would work without them. Portage tree policies and the<br \/>\nhandling of eclasses and virtuals in particular need to be clarified.<\/p>\n<p>Finally the list of planned features for EAPI 6 was amended by two items, namely additional options for configure and a non-runtime switchable ||= () or-dependency.<\/p>\n<h1><span id=\"Gentoo_Developer_Moves\">Gentoo Developer Moves<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span
