Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 07.04.2014

-        Qt4.8.6 plan

o   Akseli to clarify whether either https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,82250 , https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,81793 , https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,82438 are regressions from 4.8.5. If not we can keep the rc1 sha, if yes we need to rebuild.

Br,

Jani

Irc log below:
[17:00:49] <akseli> kkoehne: sahumada: thiago: fkleint: ZapB: tronical: wolfgang-b: vladimirM: aholza: peter-h: mapaaso: ankokko_: fkleint: carewolf: fregl: ping
[17:01:02] <ankokko_> akseli: pong
[17:01:20] <kkoehne> akseli: pong
[17:02:40] <akseli> Time to start Qt release team meeting
[17:02:41] <fregl> akseli: pong
[17:03:06] <wolfgang-b> akseli: pong
[17:03:26] <akseli> jaheikki3 can't unfortunately join todays meeting and i have only item for agenda: Qt 4.8.6 go\no decision
[17:04:00] <akseli> fleel free to raise other topics but starting from Qt 4.8.6 go\no decision
[17:04:13] <akseli> there has been some items raised on releasing mailing list (e.g. QTBUG-31882, QTBUG-24815, QTBUG-34871) but none of them seems to be a blocker
[17:04:22] <akseli> few notifications about patches that should be in Qt486 (e.g. https://codereview.qt-project.org/80277) have been merged already before rc1
[17:04:48] <akseli> question is can we publish Qt 4.8.6 release based on rc1 sha1 215a78618b185a71f660201c902da51360d8c30d (Pass events to QGestureManager from the main (GUI) thread only) ?
[17:05:33] <wolfgang-b> We are already testing 4.8.6 internally since a few weeks/days except for the last commit about the QGestureManager and I think we are fine so far
[17:05:56] <akseli> wolfgang-b: thanks, thats great news
[17:06:16] <carewolf> pong
[17:06:36] <kkoehne> akseli: what about commit 343df131 - "Avoid out of bounds memory reads when scaling images" ?
[17:07:03] <kkoehne> akseli: The description itself sounds like it's a P1 ...
[17:08:00] <fkleint> yep that was a customer bug
[17:08:12] <kkoehne> fkleint: Regression? Crash?
[17:08:22] <fkleint> crash
[17:08:26] <akseli> https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-35927
[17:09:22] <kkoehne> akseli: Sounds like something we should take into 4.8.6, then.
[17:10:05] <kkoehne> akseli: Unless Lars / Friedemann think it's a very infrequent issue ...
[17:10:49] <akseli> if you recommend that sha1 should change to that commit then it will
[17:10:53] <fkleint> "certain floating points used in translate() and drawImage
[17:10:55] <fkleint> ..
[17:11:11] <fkleint> I mean, we never saw that , only the customer with that transform
[17:11:20] <fkleint> but would be nice to have for sure
[17:11:46] -*- kkoehne sees also https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,82438 . But it's also not approved yet.
[17:13:23] <kkoehne> akseli: So, how bad would it be to still take the 4 commits since rc1 in?
[17:13:38] <akseli> i dont feel that we should wait commits which are not yet approved
[17:13:40] <akseli> but
[17:14:46] <kkoehne> akseli: The important question is probably if any of the two are regressions.
[17:14:48] <akseli> four new commits after rc1 in theory should not be a big risk but will delay release ... some may even ask that should we have new RC (in theory)
[17:16:06] <akseli> i'm not sure if QTBUG-35927 was regression on 485 or just found from that release
[17:16:54] <akseli> but crash is crash and fix does exist
[17:16:58] <kkoehne> akseli: Suggestion: We clarify whether either https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,82250 , https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,81793 , https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,82438 are regressions from 4.8.5. If not we can keep the rc1 sha, if yes we need to rebuild.
[17:18:05] <akseli> sounds good proposal for me, does others agree?
[17:18:32] <fkleint> ok, so should   QTBUG-35927  be in?
[17:19:41] <akseli> QTBUG-35927 == https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,81793
[17:19:56] <akseli> so lets check the impact first
[17:20:01] <kkoehne> fkleint: So, is it a regression?
[17:20:06] <fkleint> I don't know
[17:20:14] <fkleint> support might know
[17:20:29] <fkleint> but it has been in the list  of "most-wanted " for quite a while
[17:21:55] <kkoehne> akseli: Alright, looks like we don't have the expertise here to judge about the 3 / 4 commits. Can you take it up to clarify with the commit authors?
[17:22:16] <fkleint> or support for that matter
[17:22:16] <akseli> it seems that we cant decide based on current knowledge, proposal: what kkoehe said
[17:22:26] <fkleint> Andy is not around, it seems..
[17:22:58] <akseli> yep, i tried to reach him as well
[17:23:48] <akseli> anyways, i'll find contact  authors and lets decided go\no-go on mailing list or in worst case next monday
[17:23:59] <akseli> does that sound ok plan?
[17:24:08] <fkleint> yep
[17:25:06] <akseli> i don't have other items on agenda, next meeting on next monday at the same hour
[17:25:09] <akseli> ?
[17:26:15] <fkleint> OK, so no news about Qt 5.3...
[17:26:21] <fkleint> whether packages are updated..
[17:27:09] <akseli> fkleint: sorry, i havent been able to follow progress. only email from jaheikki3 earlier today.. ankokko_: ^
[17:27:41] <fkleint> oki
[17:28:17] <ankokko_> akseli: fkleint: I guess the status is pretty much what was in Jani's e-mail, waiting for some commit for android build problems AFAIK
[17:28:26] <fkleint> hm
[17:28:36] <fkleint> was the RC planned Wednesday..
[17:28:37] <fkleint> ok
[17:29:53] <akseli> i guess we can end today's meeting
[17:29:58] <fkleint> yup
[17:30:03] <kkoehne> fkleint: "[17:26:58] <jaheikki3> RC 24.4"
[17:30:05] <kkoehne> fkleint: from log
[17:30:25] <fkleint> Ah, ok so we have time for API review & BC checks
[17:30:59] <akseli> http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5.3-release is up to date i think
[17:31:41] <akseli> but thank you all for participating the meeting
[17:31:44] <akseli> bye
[17:31:46] <ankokko_> bye
[17:31:47] <fkleint> bye
