We have been working with the SDK packaging, and it is ongoing quite well.

If all goes well, we have also the automated SDK installer creation
process working next week.

There are some things we need to get into the installer framework and
scripts repos before it is possible to have the Qt 5 SDK created.

For the packaging we still have some issues with Windows and Mac, but
these should be possible to resolve. Iikka, Johanna and Simo have been
working actively together and progress is good.

PS. I also think there is no need for Alpha 2, it is better to aim full
speed for the beta.

Yours,
