[Releasing] Qt 5 alpha approaching

[simo.falt at nokia.com]

Hi,
Releasing scripts allows us to even create alpha installer if so decided, at least for Linux. The source packaging and Linux/mac build scripts are not yet in Gerrit, but hopefully during this week. The source script might still miss some functionality, which was included in mkdist tools, like generating the docs and removing test sources, but otherwise it is getting there.

Simo

Subject: [Releasing] Qt 5 alpha approaching

Hi,

the time for the Qt 5 alpha is approaching quickly. I'd propose that we aim for an alpha release within two weeks from now.

For the alpha, we probably don't need to do a whole lot of additional QA on top of what the CI system provides, but we should make sure that our examples run and work (modulo known bugs).

Simo, how far are you with the releasing scripts? Is everything running there? 

In addition to that we'll need to start putting together some release notes, and our marketing folks should start thinking about how to best announce things to the world.

I'm sure I'm now missing 90% of the stuff that needs to happen, so let's collect the other pieces, and find people to work on them :)

Cheers,
Lars
