* General news


We had a discussion about a wish to have a live version
of the specification which could reflect agreed changes 
as they are in the bug reports. There are a few challenges,
but we agreed to investigate. 

We noted that with the IEEE PAR scheduled for processing in June,
we should start planning preparation of the TC2 drafts, and that
the svn tree of changes was fairly up to date.

Andrew took an action to produce a refreshed working copy of TC2,
which he completed after the meeting. This is available at
https://svn.opengroup.org/websvn/listing.php?repname=POSIX&path=%2FBaseI7%2FTC2%2FWorking-Copy%2F&

* Outstanding actions

( Please note that I have flushed this section to shorten the minutes -
to locate the last set of outstanding actions, look
to the minutes from 26 Feb 2015)

Bug 0000887: printf and other functions appear many times in search results OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=887
Andrew is investigating.

Bug 0000900: add qsort_r        OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=900

The consensus was that its a good idea to add the suggested interface.
The usual requirements regarding a sponsor for a new interface
apply.

Action: Open Group OR , to ask the Base WG if they wish to sponsor
the additional qsort interface proposed here.


* Current Business

Bug  0000901: reserve _POSIX* shell option namespace for future use        OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=901

(relates to a discussion on the reflector in October 2014
X-Mailing-List: austin-group-l:archive/latest/21581
adding support for standard extensions to the shell language)

We discussed this on the call and it was agreed to:

    Richard:  Move bugnote 2511 to a separate bug report.  For that bug:

    Geoff:  figure out what XCU 2.9.1.1 currently looks like for
    TC2 and Issue 8 so that we don't make conflicting changes

    All: for tc2, add a non-normative list of names to avoid to
    2.9.1.1 item 1, using the list of names from bugnote 2511

    All: maybe promote them to normative for issue 8

    For this bug:

    Richard: file a new bug report with a concrete feature that
    would use the _POSIX* namespace (as motivation for reserving
    set -o _POSIX*)

    All: debate the proposed feature.  If it's something we want,
    then revisit bug #901.  If not, close bug #901.


Bug #913: mention resource exhaustion as a possible source of errors for all utilities       Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=913

This bug is tagged for TC2-2008

Bug #914: redirection error with function invocations or compound commands should not cause the shell to exit   Accepted
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=914

This bug is tagged for Issue 8.

Bug #917: specified 'logger' does not match actual usage OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=917

We will pick up on this bug next time
