[17:04:29] <jaheikki3> OK, lets starts from Qt 5.3 Alpha release [17:05:02] <jaheikki3> Feature freeze is now in effect. Lars gave an exception to GL switching, QQuickWidget and the printing. [17:05:29] <peter-h> jaheikki3: I wonder: do I need a confirmed exception for my SPDY stuff? [17:05:39] <peter-h> ... it is not yet in either, but hopefully today / tomorrow... [17:05:51] <peter-h> but it was discussed on the releasing list [17:06:55] <jaheikki3> peter-h: Yes, I think it was agreed that it is ok to take SPDY in as well. reason for delay were in CI if I remember correctly [17:07:51] <jaheikki3> hoping you could get things in today so that it will be in coming merge tomorrow... [17:08:10] <jaheikki3> Merge from dev to stable isn't done yet, there were some issues with building & couple of merge conflicts in merge from stable to dev. [17:08:15] <peter-h> jaheikki3: ok, so can I still merge to dev? [17:08:28] <peter-h> I mean cherry-pick [17:09:32] <jaheikki3> peter-h: We should avoid new changes in dev to make merge as easy as possible but I think your changes were in dev already? [17:10:16] <peter-h> jaheikki3: well it was staged for dev, but did not make it in [17:10:42] <peter-h> fregl suggested to push to stable instead, but if the merge is not yet done, I wonder whether I can merge to dev instead [17:11:18] <jaheikki3> Then you can then try to restage. If that doesn't succeed, let's wait until merge has happened & re-target those to stable instead [17:11:59] <peter-h> ok [17:12:15] <jaheikki3> we have still some work to do before merge: Build issue is already fixed but merge conflicts needs to be integrated. Let's hope we could get those integrated today [17:13:00] <jaheikki3> Plan is to do merge tomorrow morning if conflicts are integrated successfully today [17:13:33] <peter-h> ok I see [17:15:16] <jaheikki3> It would be nice to get all changes related to those exceptions in before Alpha but after discussion with Lars I propose we wouldn't delay alpha several days because of these. [17:16:30] <jaheikki3> Plan was to do Alpha this Thursday but if those aren't in early enough we could wait these until beginning of next week but no longer [17:16:38] <jaheikki3> Any comments? [17:19:29] <akseli> i guess silence equals approval:) [17:19:41] <ankokko> yes :-) [17:19:42] <jaheikki3> because no-one objects let's proceed with this plan... [17:20:03] <jaheikki3> Then 4.8.6 status: Akseli^ [17:21:02] <akseli> just uploaded new snapshot build to http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/4.8/ which has mingw482 package included .. unfortunately it takes time to sync & become visible [17:21:58] <akseli> that package has some problems with two dll's (one missing, another one corrupted during packaging) but i'll send email to ML with details [17:22:38] <akseli> anyway it is worth to try & test since dll's can be copied from mingw to qt4.8.6/bin folder [17:23:03] <akseli> and those packages have 11 changes compared to previous snapshot [17:23:44] <akseli> if not including mingw installer related packaging issue it looks promising [17:25:05] <akseli> but that is short status update, any questions? [17:28:03] <akseli> i guess not... next item on agenda? jaheikki3^ [17:28:25] <jaheikki3> next meeting on next Monday at this same time? [17:29:00] <akseli> ok for me [17:29:10] <ankokko> +1 [17:29:49] <jaheikki3> OK, it seems we are ready at this time. Let's try to put Apha out as soon as possible, latest at the beginning of next week. [17:30:03] <jaheikki3> Thanks for everyone. [17:30:04] <jaheikki3> Bye [17:30:12] <peter-h> bye [17:30:14] <akseli> bye [17:30:15] <ankokko> bye ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jani Heikkinen Release Manager Digia Plc Elektroniikkatie 10, FI 90590 Oulu Finland Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Mobile: +358-504-873-735 Visit us at: www.digia.com<http://www.digia.com/> | Blog<http://blog.digia.com/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/digiaonline> | LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/company/5119> | YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/digiaonline> | Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/digiaonline> | ------------------------------------------------------------------ PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message and any attachments are intended only for use by the named addressee and may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
