[Releasing] Platform and Compiler configurations for Qt 5.0 beta release

[simo.falt at nokia.com]

I think the Ubuntu 12.04 is bit too new if we want to keep the binaries compatible with other linux distros. So I would suggest to go with 11.04.
Also, Daniel sent earlier e-mail about supporting mingw.org-based GCC 4.6.2.

Simo

Subject: [Releasing] Platform and Compiler configurations for Qt 5.0 beta release

Hi,


Would the following set of platform and compiler configurations
be suitable for making the binary installers for Qt 5.0 beta release:

linux-g++-32 Ubuntu 12.04 x86 32-bit Gcc 4.4
linux-g++-64 Ubuntu 12.04 x86 64-bit Gcc 4.4
win32-msvc2010 Windows 7 x86 32-bit
win64-msvc2010 Windows 7 x86 64-bit
win32-MinGW Windows 7 x86 32-bit MinGW 4.4
macx-g++ OSX 10.7 Cocoa x86 64-bit

These would be the packages available through the 'Qt Project SDK'.

Since Ubuntu 10.04 is rather old, use of 12.04 is preferred.
Similarly it might be good to use newer Gcc version.
Any insight what is the best fit?

Are all these already running in the CI system?
It is important to be aligned between the CI system and release.
