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. Bug 0000901: reserve _POSIX* shell option namespace for future use OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=901 The forward plan for this bug remains as before: 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. * Current Business Bug 921 is an enhancement request issue for the Mantis setup. Action on Andrew to forward the issue to Mark Brown for comment. Bug 0000922: Implementations should be allowed to change/remove implementation-defined environment variables OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=922 The meeting discussed this request in detail. Action assigned to Eric: Follow up with Florian to see if glibc can be changed to ignore rather than discard/modify variables, and if that still meets his desired security needs Next Steps ---------- The next call is on May 7, 2015 (a Thursday) Calls are anchored on US time.
