 Excellent!

It would also be good to check all modules and update the ones there is newer stable one available.

Yes, I'll check the status of the qt5.git integration.

The 28th sounds like a good date, let's focus on the remaining issues during the next days so we can have some decent packages for Wed/Thu.

Cheers,
Lars

Our marketing people have prepared something for the beta.

I will be in Oslo this week, and will gather all the "strings" for a release on Tuesday 28th.

So what do you think about Tuesday 28th? If the things can be fixed during next week, that is feasible. It would be good to have the candidate ready some days before the release. Could that be a date we all agree to target and make remaining fixes accordingly?


There is also marketing things to do - at least wiki update and blog posts. Unless someone has those ready in hiding, agreeing on the day helps marketing to prepare these.

I'd like to release the beta, too. But I think it's important we release
*something*, which is why I'm proposing we release next week and we just
decide on what to call it.

Can those be all done and ready by Wednesday? So we can generate packages
overnight and test them on Thursday, including the split source packages?
Assuming that the testing on Thursday reveals no problems, we can release the
beta on Friday.

Agreed. But more importantly, we need to get *something* out so we can get
feedback from users.
