[17:10:20] <thiago> I will send the header review today [17:10:35] <vladimirM> We have an important change in our QPA which we need to take in [17:10:37] <thiago> I expect all maintainers to review their modules before the Nov 11th branch & merge [17:10:48] <thiago> as in "review & correct any issues found" [17:11:16] <thiago> I will write the changelog script after my sessions are done in Dev Days [17:11:25] <thiago> so, during the next weekend [17:11:41] <thiago> vladimirM: as usual, the sooner the better [17:12:01] <thiago> after the branch, releases is for release-critical stuff (tasks with P0, P1 and important P2s) [17:12:33] <vladimirM> yeh, sounds familiar…. ;-) [17:12:37] <vladimirM> thanks [17:13:31] <jaheikki3> I think iieklund isn't here now so we don't get latest packaging status :( [17:14:47] <jaheikki3> what I know there were some issues during weekend, let's hope those are now solved and we could get new snapshots tomorrow [17:15:13] <jaheikki3> At least qt5.git is integrated today so there will be new content in when we have new packages [17:16:08] <jaheikki3> OK, then quick overview to error situation [17:16:28] <jaheikki3> 0 Blocker issues open [17:16:28] <jaheikki3> 49 Critical issues open [17:16:28] <jaheikki3> 72 listed Issues to be fixed before Qt5.2 RC1 release (37 open), see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33863 [17:16:58] <jaheikki3> Comments/Questions? [17:17:35] <thiago> looks good to me :-) [17:18:21] <jaheikki3> There is quite much inflow every day so I think that list will change all the time... [17:18:28] <fkleint> https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33674 should probably be removed [17:19:35] <fkleint> https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33782 is also a bit questionable.. probably has never worked [17:19:47] <fkleint> but ok, I don't think we should go through all of them now [17:20:34] <jaheikki3> fkleint: OK, thanks. I'll browse those through and remove those which aren't plocking the release [17:21:06] <fkleint> yes [17:21:11] <jaheikki3> And please inform me if you find something else isn't blocking the release [17:21:15] <fkleint> hehe [17:22:03] <fkleint> How would the lone ranger have solved this... [17:23:23] <jaheikki3> And if you notice some blockers missing from list add it there or inform me [17:24:10] <jaheikki3> I think that is enough from errors... [17:24:16] <jaheikki3> Then change files [17:24:29] <jaheikki3> I think it was decided that people should use the [Changelog: ] tag in the commit message, see http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-July/011785.html [17:24:40] <jaheikki3> Sergio checked the usage of [Changelog] tag: only 38 changes out of 1542 have the [Changelog] tag in the commit message [17:24:53] <thiago> that's fine [17:25:07] <thiago> as I said, I'll write the script during the next weekend [17:25:23] <thiago> the update for the changelog should be one of the first few changes to the releases branch [17:26:57] <jaheikki3> thiago: Ok, and when the script is ready maintainest should check if it finds all important changes, right? [17:27:03] <thiago> the rate of changes to the changelog should increase in the releases branch [17:27:33] <thiago> yes [17:28:56] <jaheikki3> OK. I don't have anything else. [17:29:31] <jaheikki3> Is there someting else or just next meeting? [17:30:08] <thiago> we'll need to figure out later how to update the changelog after the changes land in the releases branch [17:30:24] <thiago> we might want to bypass the CI if the change is just to the changelog file [17:30:46] <fkleint> ;-) [17:31:13] <jaheikki3> that's fine for me at least [17:32:20] <jaheikki3> Anything else? [17:33:24] <jaheikki3> I propose next meeting monday 7th Nov at this same time to see how merge is proceeding etc [17:33:35] <jaheikki3> Sorry, I mean 11 th [17:33:38] <jaheikki3> ;) [17:34:21] <thiago> I can't join next week [17:34:27] <thiago> feel free to find a better time if you need [17:34:36] -*- thiago will be in Seoul and it's 0:30 there [17:35:05] <jaheikki3> ;) then it might be ok to meet 13:00 CET? [17:36:30] <jaheikki3> Nobody disagrees so lets have next meeting Mon 11th Nov 13:00 CET [17:36:48] <jaheikki3> I think we can end this meeting now. Thanks and bye! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jani Heikkinen Release Manager
