Here're the minutes from last weeks meeting. * Java for Distribution building Java 1.5 generates new byte code so that 1.5 compiled code will not run with Java 1.4. Since it's possible to have both Java 1.4 and 1.5 installed on a system, we decided to switch the default for building the distribution to 1.5 and will then evaluate how much breaks. Note: - Building packages with Java 1.4 is still possible, just request the right packages - The factory-extra tree will continue to deliver both Java versions for now. * Building distribution for i386/x86-64 with -mtune=generic The current settings are already equivalent to -mtune=generic, no change is needed. The suggestions for additional flags made on opensuse-factory are not usefull for the general case. * umask As proposed, we will - Remove the umask value from /etc/profile and store it in a config file: * Use /etc/login.defs not only for creation of home directory, but also for login * Use pam_umask.so - YaST2 will provide umask value only global User is able to set a value with chfn -m umask=XXX or can override the umask individually in their login scripts - the admin can change umask via "chfn -m umask=XXX <user>" (note: This can be done for root as well, so setting 077 for root is just "chfn -m umask=077 root"). We will not change the default values, just allow more flexibility.
