IRC Meetings
Meetings are happening weekly for the time being, if things run more smoothly, we'll adapt the meeting schedule to a slower pace.

Outcomes
- LDAP
Secure SSH logins by Host attribute
Services (trac, wiki, etc) are done via authorizedService attribute
- This means that we can decide who gets to do what where without using groups
- mod_authnz_ldap knows about requiring ldap-attributes
- Ralph Angenendt sets up ldap for svn and wiki over the next weekend
- This means: Wiki access for more people after that
- Packaging
- Some discussions about packaging standards
- Proposal (Scott Shin): Have several levels of packages:
- Level I: Doesn't override base packages
- Level II: Might override base packages
- Level III: Go crazy (like httpd 2.2.x for CentOS 4)
- Discussion about how to build for several distributions (dist tags)
- Claire Connelly will write something on the mailing list about that.

Outcomes
- Version Control
- svn seems to be best known
- git is not favored
- subversion it is
- http(s):// read only for the world
- set up subversion to authenticate against LDAP
- Which persons in LDAP do we allow to commit? (who is in LDAP anyway?)
- Commit level
- Start with a relaxed ACL model which can be extended then?
- Everybody everything but only owner can request build
- We are okay with that.
- Build system
- Plague
- only one spec file, even with different arches and versions
Spec files and non-binary sources/patches go into one directory called %{name}
- Binary sources
- Webdav with the same ldap_auth as svn?
- Only put Sources there if they have to be adapted or if the original download location isn't there anymore
- Otherwise download sources from the net, compare md5/sha1 and build from there.
- Webdav with the same ldap_auth as svn?
- Plague
Keep a ToDo list on the wiki
- For more complicated stuff: Draft a proposal so everyone is on par when we discuss things
- Standards for packaging
- Throw together a draft
Start with driesverachtert/RpmforgeSpecfileSnippets?
- LDAP setup on devel
- All four root sudoers can add users and groups to the LDAP setup.
- Web based a/c setup (Dries)
