[Releasing] Qt 5.2 beta release postponed

Fri Oct 18 09:20:19 CEST 2013

Hi all,

Here is current status:

·        Good news first: We managed to get fixes for open failures!

o   But unfortunately there was some regression and that's why qt5.git integration failed

·        Windows builds starts failing as well

o   Studies started why this starts failing now...

·        Enterprise Mac builds failed as well again

o   Reason was same than earlier(no disc space left), but now we should have detailed logs available to see what is really happening

·        Open errors (listed as blocker for the release)

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-10379: Qt Creator does not find CDB for preconfigured Kit

§  There should be fix for that available, but some issues with updating old settings are left

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357: QML apps based on QQuickViewer not runnable using static build of Qt 5 due to "qtquick2plugin" issue

§  Fixes are merged but it seems there is again issues with static build (qt5.git integration failed)

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34093: qtcreatorcdbext32 -folder missing from Qt 5.2 beta1 93 builds

§  Finally this should be fixed. There was problems with installing needed tools to build machines

·        Installer indicates that installation succeed even it didn't

So we don't have Beta1 candidate packages available now, most probably not even today. That's why it will be hard to release beta1 on Monday. Let's do whatever is needed to get these issues fixed so that we will have beta1 candidate packages available latest on Monday morning and then see how to proceed...

Br,
Jani

Hi all,

Unfortunately we don't have all needed fixes in current packages and that's why we cannot release Qt5.2 beta1 today. But we are pretty near, just few fixes in and packages are ready. Here is our new plan:

-        Get rest of fixes in today

-        Have beta1 candidate packages available tomorrow morning

-        Test candidate during tomorrow & weekend

-        If nothing really serious found release Qt5.2 Beta1 next Monday (21.10.2013)

Here is current status related to Qt5.2 Beta1 release:

-        qt5.git was updated  successfully last night

-        Unfortunately qt5.git was integrated so late that opensource builds doesn't have new content in :(

o   New builds to be started as soon as possible to get os packages with new content under testing

o   Build issues with MinGW & MSVC 2012 32 bit seems to be solved now, to be confirmed when next builds are ready

-        Open errors

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357: QML apps based on QQuickViewer not runnable using static build of Qt 5 due to "qtquick2plugin" issue

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34093: qtcreatorcdbext32 -folder missing from Qt 5.2 beta1 93 builds

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33859: Qt5.2.0 beta1/qtwebkit missing from mingw installer (mingw48_32\include\)

Hi all,
Here is the latest status

·        New enterprise installers ready http://qt-rnd.it.local/packages/jenkins/enterprise/offline_installers/latest/

o   Does not contain latest qt5.git changes but some creator fixes

o   Some installers still missing

·        Issues still open (listed as blocker for the release):

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357: QML apps based on QQuickViewer not runnable using static build of Qt 5 due to "qtquick2plugin" issue

§  The remaining patches are:

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66500: Approved, waiting for integration

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66592: Approved, waiting for integration

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34083: Linking webkit fails for MinGW because of undefined references

§  Fix under CI

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,68313

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34093: qtcreatorcdbext32 -folder missing from Qt 5.2 beta1 93 builds

§  Should be fixed in latest enterprise installers, to be verified

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33859: Qt5.2.0 beta1/qtwebkit missing from mingw installer (mingw48_32\include\)

§  Should be fixed, can be verified when mingw builds available

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-10379: Qt Creator does not find CDB for preconfigured Kit

§  Should be fixed in latest enterprise installers, to be verified

So really good progress there. But getting beta1 packages ready tomorrow morning, I doubt... Getting rest of stuff through CI takes several hours. Then qt5.git integration, which takes also several hours. When it is OK we can start building new packages... It will take also several hours so we are running out the time to be able to get beta1 out tomorrow. But getting packages tomorrow seems to be possible and release then Tuesday. Or even Monday...I think Friday isn't good because of coming weekend...

Lets hope there isn't more suprises or new problems and CI behaves...

Br,

Jani

Hi all,

Some progress here but still some work to do before we could have final beta1 packages available. Releasing tomorrow; it is still possible at least in theory but I don't think we can do it :( As you see there is still issues to be solved before that and even if we could  fix all these during today then we need to update qt5.git & create new packages etc.  Mirroring takes time as well so we should have packages available already today to be sure all mirrors have content up-to-date tomorrow releasing time (ok, we have update packages release day morning sometimes but then you never know if sych is ready or not). But let's see tomorrow morning what is situation then.

Here is a detailed status:

·        Qt5.qit update succeed last night!

o   But this didn't succeed early enough to be in latest packages -> New build round will be started immediately, hoping we could have new packages(with new content) later today

·        MSVC2012 build is still failing

o   Fix should be in next builds

·        MinGW builds are still failing

o   Studies still ongoing

·        There were some build issues with enterprise builds -> No new enterprise packages available

o   To be investigated what happened

·        Issues still open (listed as blocker for the release):

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34078: Android: all widget apps crash due to wrong dependency information for QtSvg

§  Fix should be in updated qt5.git -> Should be fixed when new packages available

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357: QML apps based on QQuickViewer not runnable using static build of Qt 5 due to "qtquick2plugin" issue

§  The remaining patches are:

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66500: Review in progress

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,66592: Review in progress

§  Work ongoing, hoping this will be fixed during today

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33892: Qml applications are terminating with sigsegv on android.

§  Fix proposal available

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,68227: Integrating

·        https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,68206: Merged, change isn't in updated qt5.git -> New qt.git update needed to get this in

Hi!

Here is the status at the moment:

-        We will do the beta release immediately when all needed fixes are done. We are still targeting to this Thursday, but honestly speaking we need to have really lucky to make it happen; There is still lots of issues to be solved before that. But let's try...

o   Qt5.git update failed once again and that's why we don't have latest fixes in new packages (which aren't available at the moment :( )

§  Flaky test failed, re-integrating

o   There is still problem with mingGW builds, investigation ongoing

o   There is still problem with Webkit build with MSVC2012 32bit, fix should be available when we managed to update qt5.git

o   There were some issues with packaging during last night -> We don't have new packages available at the moment

§  This doesn't matter so much because of qt5.git integration issue

§  Re-packaging ongoing

o   There is still issues open listed as blocker for the release:

§  https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34083: Linking webkit fails for MinGW because of undefined references

Hi all,

As you should know we should have Qt5.2 beta1 release this week, thu 17th Sep. At the moment situation is much better than last Friday:

-        We managed to update latest changes into qt5.git during weekend

o   Enterprise mac missing because of packaging issues. Repackaging ongoing, these should be available soon

o   Enterprise win mingw package missing, studies ongoing why

o   Win 2012 32 bit installers missing (both Enterprise and LGPL) because of webkit oom issue

-        We still have some errors to be fixed

o   https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357: QML apps based on QQuickViewer are not runnable using static build of Qt 5 due to "qtquick2plugin" issue

§  Needed to get working QML on iOS

So there is still work to do before we can do the beta1 release. But let's still target to do beta1 on Thursday (as agreed earlier). And let's hope we could get all these fixed early and there isn't any new big findings. Testing of these packages will be quite limited but we need to live with it :(...

Other tasks to be done, I don't know anything else than blog post.  I think we agreed that Tuukka T should write the blog post but he is on vacations so could you Lars do it? Does someone knows something else?

Br,
Jani
