Hi,

Present were Erik, Peter, Steve, Frank, and Jonah.

The issue [1] about parameter ranges, quotes ect were discussed, and as
conclusion Steve is to commit everything. Warnings will output for now,
Kranc should be fixed soon, and quotes around ranges will be deprecated
as soon as possible.

But not disallowed, right?  I don't want old Kranc-generated thorns to fail to compile and need to be regenerated.  Unless it is hard to keep the support for the quotes, I would allow it (and preferably not with a ton of warnings).

Frank is working on providing shell-script support functions for
external libraries to arrive at a better handling of external libraries.
Hold off with changes on those, or coordinate with him please.

There is a ticket (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1175) and a wiki page (https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Improving_the_treatment_of_external_libraries) related to this from a while ago.
