I'm not sure if you noticed the timeline, but it got released before the reviews. Had I read negative reviews before I hit the publish button in CI Train, I wouldn't have released it. I didn't wait long with this trivial typo fix since I haven't been expecting reviews (I noticed a change earlier this week when I was preparing qtpim). I've largely worked alone on the Ubuntu side with some awesome help from other developers working on Ubuntu Phone and mitya57 regarding Qt 5 and the syncing with Debian. Just let me know eg. on IRC if you want to start working on anything related to Qt 5.3.0 packaging so that I can double-check everything I have currently brewing is committed to some bzr branch. I first did a "quick but ugly" PPA build (https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2) and I'm now slowly working on a tests enabled, symbols updated versions in parallel. That will also need to be readjusted later at minimum to sync with Debian. The final Qt 5.3.0 landing should also be prepared by doing archive quality uploads to a CI Train silo, so that it can be fully tested and then published as a whole. As Ubuntu Phone is not just ramping up but doing daily releases, it's important not to disturb this process. The silos work neatly in this regard, since they also allow syncing packages from Debian to the PPA from where the whole set of tested components is then synced to archives. > I'm starting to think Canonical's Qt5 stack should go in it's own namespace > separate from the one used by Debian/Kubuntu as was discussed at the last > vUDS. I don't sense much interest in collaboration. The Qt5 was originally put to under ~kubuntu-packagers even though it was only used by Ubuntu so that it could be worked on in co-operation in the long term more easily. Co-operation has in my opinion worked nicely with anyone who has been willing to contribute to the packaging work. Obviously with Ubuntu as the almost sole user of Qt 5 so far it has been largely people working on Ubuntu Phone, but that's changing now. -Timo -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
