Notes on this admin meeting.

• Decide on date of next meeting.
  • May 4th
• S/F wiki - do we want to use it?
  • Not yet; possible not ever unless they convert to mediawiki
• SVN update
  • release script working OK - what else is needed?
    • A few extra things were marked done, but still more is needed
  • tidying of tags/branches
    • Proposal:
      • move all branches other than V[45]-N-patches to separate tree
        • agreed
      • move all tags other than full releases (Ext-[2345]-N and similar), and active pre-releases (Ext-5-2-4-{preN,rc1}) to separate tree
        • agreed
    • separate tree discussion:
      • Chosen paths: /historic/tags and /historic/branches
• Next release
  • 5.3.2 or 5.4.1 ?
    • 5.4.1 is dts12, hardaker, tander's preference... rstory 5.3.2
• Copyright issues
  • we need to change the BSD headers; dave will do for 5.2.4
  • ming issue: looks like the second in http://www.mingw.org/licensing.shtml so we'll copy it to the top of the only file affected by it.
  • md5:
    • likely ok now; suspect we have a early copy of it before the licensing terms were applied
    • long term goal: pull openssl code into net-snmp assuming license ok. will remain optionally linking to openssl too since packagers like to patch only one thing when bugs arise (darix)
      • the only question is what should the default be... discussion postponed.
        • default == use openssl iff available, or use duplicate code otherwise, unless configure flag says not to? (rstory)
