I do see value in alpha package. It's going to require a very
concentrated effort to fix and test all the issues in one day :)

http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-Alpha-Candidate-Issues now tracks all
the issues that need to be fixed in the package. (Note that some of
the stuff there is just personal opinion, feel free to edit :)).
Ideally, you can point oslo to that list and get those fixed tomorrow.

Can someone go through Thiago's reports and update his feedback on the
page. I would have that done myself that but I have to run now. (but I
can do it tomorrow).
