There’s a rather substantial amount of pending cherry-picks targeting 6.8.

https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/owner:cherrypick_bot@qt-project.org+branch:6.8+status:open

Many of those are for qtdeclarative, where staging into the 6.8 branch is restricted.

Please review and resolve the issues which prevented the initial integration attempt (which might be flakiness, but there are also unresolved merge conflicts), and add the 6.8.2 pick-to target if the change qualifies as per Jani’s email. Remember to get a review for the updated cherry-pick, and to stage it once you got that.


Cheers,
Volker
