Just to clarify a bit more:
The packages mentioned by Rafal are the ones we had hoped to be ready for
the RC, but due to the issues we have found so far (listed here
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt500RC1KnownIssues) it does not look like we
can use these packages for the RC.

We therefore suggest to spend the next hours trying to improve the current
status, and generate new packages for the RC this evening. For this to be
successful, it is very important that we only push changes that are
important for the RC, to stable right now.

If we succeed, we can have RC packages ready tomorrow morning CET.
