Hi QtWebKit developers, I ran into a serious problem what we should solve without any pain.
Here is a bug report with an r+ -ed patch: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55036 [Qt] FontCache::createFontPlatformData() is broken, a default font is returned even if the family does not match After this patch ~5000 layout test result will differ between Qt 4.7 and 4.8, which is absolutly unmaintainable. Additionally WebKit2 builds with Qt 5, but qt-wk2 platform falls back to qt platform and not qt-4.8/qt platforms. I don't know how important is this patch (AFAIK it doesn't block QtWebKit2.2 release), but I think the best solution is if we wait until Qt 4.8 relase and then we drop LayoutTests/platform/qt-4.8 platform and declare that now LayoutTests/platform/qt means Qt 4.8 results and Qt 4.7 layout test results aren't supported anymore. If we want to land this patch now, we have to - fix run-webkit-tests to be able handle qt-wk2/qt-4.8/qt fallback order (It isn't trivial fix.) - add +5000 Qt 4.8 specific layout test result into LayoutTests/platform/qt-4.8 - maintain LayoutTests/platform/qt and LayoutTests/platform/qt-4.8 in parallel ( It is shocking big task !!! ) What do you think about it? What should we do now? br, Csaba Osztrogonác (Ossy) University of Szeged _______________________________________________ webkit-qt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-qt
