Here're the current agenda items.  Any comments?  Anything you like us
to look at?

* Java for Distribution building
  
  We're currently building java-1_4_2-sun and the suggestion was to
  switch to java-1_5_0-sun.

* Building distribution for i386/x86-64 with -mtune=generic

  -mtune=generic is the default in the compiler.  If someone uses
  -march=abc and no -mtune then the tune setting will be based on
  -march, and perhaps overriding the mtune=generic.  -mtune=i686 is
  equivalent to -mtune=generic.  Sooo, for x86-64 we should be fine
  (simply don't add anything), for i586 we might want to add an
  explicit -mtune=generic.

* umask ("hard coded value in /etc/profile vs. pam_umask.so", see also
  "man pam_umask") 
  Questions
  - Remove value from /etc/profile and store in a config file:
    - Use /etc/login.defs not only for creation of home directory, 
      but also for login
    - Use pam_umask.so or use .profile parser solution?
  - Should YaST2 allow/provide umask value per user or only global?
    User is able to set a value with chfn -m umask=XXX
