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 dupe code otherwise, unless configure flag says not to? (rstory)
