[Releasing] Meeting minutes: Qt 5.1 release team meeting 27.05.2013

[Heikkinen Jani]

Hi,

Meeting minutes from Qt 5.1 release team meeting 27.05.2013:

-         Action points from previous meeting:

o   Rafal: Propose improvements to testing process, forms ect to make testing easier and getting more persons involved

§  Rafal on vacation


-         Merge from stable to release branch will be done Tue 28.5.2013

-         New installers for community testing should be ready after the merging is complete

o   Android Linux-x64 host installer is fixed

o   Android Windows-x86 host installer still needs work

o   32bit msvc2012 installer is also provided

o   armv5 targets will be removed from 5.1.0 packages

-         Count of open 5.1.0 issues: 239(16 more than week ago)

-         It seems the .pro/pri/prf files in current qt-stable got a tad too much magic for creator 2.7 which results in creator failing to load most qt modules

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9384

o   examples etc seem not to be affected

o   --> Not blocking RC1 if it's only qt sources itself (as it seems to be)

-         Next meeting Monday 3.6.2013 16:00-17:00 CET

(17:01:14) sahumada|home: iieklund_: pong
(17:01:33) fkleint: iieklund_: pong
(17:01:44) iieklund_: I'm substituting akseli and jani today
(17:02:05) iieklund_: is everybody here already or should we wait still?
(17:02:24) kkoehne: iieklund_: I'd say let's just start ...
(17:02:28) iieklund_: ok
(17:02:32) iieklund_: Agenda proposal:
(17:02:36) iieklund_: - Action points from previous meeting
(17:02:39) iieklund_: - 5.1 Installer status
(17:02:43) iieklund_: - 5.1 Error Metrics
(17:02:47) iieklund_: - 5.1 merge from stable to release & string freeze
(17:02:52) iieklund_: - Next meeting
(17:03:00) iieklund_: comments on the above?
(17:03:17) kkoehne: iieklund_: I've a heads-up about Qt Creator 2.7.2 / problems parsing Qt 5 sources
(17:03:32) iieklund_: ok, I'll add that in the agenda
(17:03:53) iieklund_: thiago: ping
(17:04:06) kkoehne: iieklund_: I think he said he won't make it last time?
(17:04:35) thiago: iieklund_: pong
(17:04:45) thiago: I am here, in the airport lounge, for the next 15 minutes
(17:04:46) ***kkoehne apparently is wrong :)
(17:05:07) thiago: then I have to leave
(17:05:07) iieklund_: quick recap about the proposed agenda
(17:05:07) iieklund_: - Action points from previous meeting
(17:05:07) iieklund_: - 5.1 Installer status
(17:05:07) iieklund_: - 5.1 Error Metrics
(17:05:11) iieklund_: - 5.1 merge from stable to release & string freeze
(17:05:17) iieklund_: - Qt Creator 2.7.2 / problems parsing Qt 5 sources
(17:05:37) iieklund_: we could start maybe with the most important one, branching
(17:06:16) iieklund_: I'd like to discuss about the possibility to start the branching already tomorrow if possible
(17:06:24) iieklund_: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31105
(17:06:34) iieklund_: Are these something we need to fix before merge or would it be feasible to do merge and fix issues on release branch?
(17:07:30) iieklund_: one of those is packaging related and in my opinion is not a blocker for branching (QTBUG-31240)
(17:07:49) iieklund_: we have fixed a lot already and something new emerges all the time
(17:08:29) sahumada|home: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31370 is being qskip'ed for now and will be investigated
(17:10:08) iieklund_: is there any reason we could not branch tomorrow and fix the listed ones in 'release' branch?
(17:10:14) kkoehne: THere's still quite some patches with +2 against qt-base/stable.
(17:10:33) iieklund_: pending in ci?
(17:10:40) iieklund_: or not staged?
(17:11:03) sahumada|home: they need to be re-targeted if they are meant for 5.1.0 ... some of them have been there for quite some time now
(17:11:16) kkoehne: iieklund_: I haven't investigated yet. But there are 20 reviews with +2 and touched at least in May
(17:11:28) kkoehne: search for 'status:open branch:stable label:CodeReview+2 project:qt/qtbase' in gerrit
(17:11:59) iieklund_: the risk is that we'll be in the same situation next week as well, waiting for those and new ones emerging every day
(17:12:01) kkoehne: Anyway, with a bit of luck some will be integrated since tomorrow
(17:12:07) kkoehne: I mean, until tomorrow
(17:12:27) kkoehne: Yeah, I agree. the situation is a lot better than last week at least :)
(17:13:23) iieklund_: would it be a doable compromise to list the non-staged ones tomorrow morning and ask the authors to repush them into 'release' after the branching is done?
(17:13:55) kkoehne: Yes. So personally I think we should merge tomorrow. Ideally with blocking merges to stable for a day or two so people can make up their mind :)
(17:14:23) thiago: hit the stage button :-)
(17:14:26) sahumada|home: I agree
(17:15:15) sahumada|home: I propose for tomorrow: let's block the stable branch .. wait for changes integrating if any .. do the merge
(17:15:28) iieklund_: sounds good to me
(17:15:48) iieklund_: we should inform people on lists about this right away
(17:15:51) fkleint: yes
(17:15:58) fkleint: big heads-up
(17:16:12) sahumada|home: I can send an email about it
(17:16:19) iieklund_: sergio, can you write a ... ok, thanks :)
(17:16:41) iieklund_: anything else about this topic?
(17:17:32) iieklund_: ok, next topic
(17:17:34) iieklund_: Action points from previous meeting:
(17:17:46) iieklund_: ?Propose improvements to testing process, forms ect to make testing easier and getting more persons involved? is open and Rafal is on vacation
(17:18:06) iieklund_: does anybody have comments into this?
(17:18:30) fkleint: well, then we have to stick with the old form for the moment
(17:18:46) iieklund_: yes
(17:18:56) iieklund_: can't remember when rafal is back from vacation
(17:19:00) kkoehne: iieklund_: Well, it seems there are no changes to the form yet. ANyhow, not a blocker in any sense ...
(17:20:06) iieklund_: Next: 5.1 Installer status
(17:20:16) thiago: boarding
(17:20:23) iieklund_: new installers for community testing should be ready after the merging is complete
(17:20:37) kkoehne: thiago: Have fun in Tokyo :)
(17:20:39) iieklund_: so depending how fast the merging will go
(17:20:53) iieklund_: thiago: thanks
(17:21:16) iieklund_: Android Linux-x64 host installer is fixed
(17:21:34) iieklund_: Android Windows-x86 host installer still needs work
(17:21:47) iieklund_: 32bit msvc2012 installer is also provided
(17:22:12) iieklund_: armv5 targets will be removed from 5.1.0 packages
(17:22:36) iieklund_: those had some issue, detailed info can be given by eskil
(17:22:54) iieklund_: installer framework is updated to latest 'master'
(17:23:21) iieklund_: any questions about installers?

(17:25:52) iieklund_: -QTBUG-31147 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31147>:Qt for Android apps will fail to compile on Windows with sh.exe in path
(17:25:59) iieklund_: -> Under study
(17:26:28) thiago poistui huoneesta (quit: Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
(17:26:40) kkoehne: iieklund_: That defect is actually nothing new, but now got more exposure due to Android, I guess.
(17:26:52) iieklund_: ok
(17:27:22) iieklund_: QTBUG-31344 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31344>: TabView can enter an infinite focus loop on Mac
(17:27:30) iieklund_: -> Fixes under review
(17:28:04) iieklund_: actually approved but not staged?
(17:28:39) iieklund_: should those be staged now?
(17:28:52) sahumada|home: iieklund_: i can ask liang to stage it

(17:30:52) iieklund_: -> this one is packaging related
(17:31:03) iieklund_: the linux-x64 host is fixed now
(17:32:02) iieklund_: the problem with android win-x86 host is that it's getting very hacky and messy copying and merging files from package to another
(17:32:12) iieklund_: to "build" or create the package
(17:32:34) iieklund_: so we are testing if it would work to cross compile it on windows machine
(17:32:48) iieklund_: this is under work
(17:32:56) iieklund_: QTBUG-31370 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31370>:[autotests] tst_qquickanimatedimage::mirror_notRunning() fails on Mac OS X 10.7

(17:33:52) iieklund_: QTBUG-31298 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31298>:Mac OSX: No pop-up menus for QLabel alignment options in Property Editor
(17:34:15) fkleint: fix in the works..or ugly hack,,
(17:34:16) iieklund_: fkleint: ^ ?
(17:34:22) iieklund_: ok
(17:34:44) iieklund_: QTBUG-31386 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31386>:Windows/Touch: QtQuick2 MouseArea receives clicked twice for each touch
(17:35:07) fkleint: under investigation, but I am not sure we can fix this
(17:35:15) iieklund_: fkleint: ?
(17:35:17) fkleint: so, fix can go to release branch at a pinch
(17:35:53) iieklund_: ok
(17:35:58) iieklund_: QTBUG-31348 <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31348>: Quick Controls deployment issues

(17:36:49) sahumada|home: https://codereview.qt-project.org/57096
(17:37:03) iieklund_: ah, great
(17:37:17) iieklund_: indeed, that was merged
(17:37:22) iieklund_: and the last one on the list
(17:37:34) iieklund_: anything else not covered in error metrics?
(17:38:42) iieklund_: Next: Qt Creator 2.7.2 / problems parsing Qt 5 sources
(17:38:47) iieklund_: kkoehne: ^
(17:39:31) kkoehne: iieklund_: Well, it seems the .pro/pri/prf files in current qt-stable got a tad too much magic for creator 2.7
(17:40:07) kkoehne: iieklund_: Which results in creator failing to load most qt modules.
(17:40:07) iieklund_: ouch
(17:40:07) kkoehne: iieklund_: Anyhow, examples etc seem not to be affected
(17:40:32) kkoehne: iieklund_: We're working on this, but it might mean that qt sources cannot be properly opened in creator 2.7
(17:40:56) iieklund_: btw: what was the intended creator version for 5.1 ... 2.7?
(17:41:07) kkoehne: Yes
(17:41:20) iieklund_: any time estimates?
(17:41:27) kkoehne: Anyhow, if it affects examples/typical user applications this is obviously a blocker.
(17:41:37) kkoehne: But right now it seems qt modules only
(17:41:41) kkoehne: about time, hard to say.
(17:41:46) kkoehne: Bug report is https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9384 .
(17:42:07) iieklund_: thanks, I'll link that into 5.1.0 meta task
(17:42:45) kkoehne: Well, maybe as a P2 one :) At least EIke and me think it's an acceptable defect if it's only qt sources itself. 2.8 won't be that far away at the time 5.1 is released ...
(17:43:05) kkoehne: Anyway, that was just a heads-up . I'm sure we know more in the next meeting.
(17:43:22) iieklund_: ok, good to know
(17:43:45) iieklund_: Next: Next meeting
(17:43:51) iieklund_: same day same time?
(17:44:10) iieklund_: or was thiago still in Tokyo?
(17:44:27) iieklund_: could we keep the mtg during european office hours?
(17:46:03) kkoehne: iieklund_: Don't know about thiago. I guess the current timing is a bit too late for Finland?
(17:46:17) ***kkoehne doesn't mind whether the meeting is at 4:00 or 3:00 CET
(17:46:48) iieklund_: well usually I'm driving the car around this time
(17:46:58) iieklund_: either earlier or later
(17:47:48) fkleint: wouldn;t mind earlier either
(17:48:01) kkoehne: iieklund: So 3:00?
(17:48:14) iieklund_: finnish time?
(17:48:47) kkoehne: iieklund: Even that is okay for me, though it'll kick out thiago :)
(17:48:53) iieklund_: that's ok for me if finnish time ... or earlier
(17:49:19) iieklund_: maybe we decide this during the week offline, we can ask thiago
(17:49:34) kkoehne: iieklund: Proposal: Check with thiago if he can join in principle. If yes I guess we've to stick to the 16:00 CET schedule. If no we can do it whenever you want :)
(17:49:40) kkoehne: iieklund: Yes.
(17:49:46) iieklund_: sure :)
(17:50:08) iieklund_: ok, thanks for everybody
(17:50:14) iieklund_: bye
(17:51:02) sahumada|home: bye
