Attending:
Don, Dave, Emannuelle, Hector

1) Emmanuelle committed changes for rollout email parameters and cr mime types admin UI.
2) Don will finish his commits this week and hopefully create 5.6 alpha tarball before next OCT meeting 2010/03/24.
3) Hector asked about Tcl 8.5 support because next Debian stable will have Tcl 8.5 by default. He'll look into support for Tcl 8.5 for xotcl and aolserver.

4) Dave will create upgrade script for rollout support parameters so existing sites with rollout support turned on will have the same settings added to the parameters on upgrade.

There are no known issues with Tcl 8.5 either for xotcl or for aolserver (at least, that I know of). So no need to worry.

Thanks! Last I recall was a question if it worked or not. Apparently it does! That makes things much easier.

Perhaps it should be replaced with "He'll ask Gustaf and Stefan about possible problems with openacs and tcl 8.5" 😉

Thanks for the answer guys, we shouldn't have any problem with the change in Debian then.
