Qt 4.8.7 Status
* No new 4.8.7 snapshot available yet due to build problems (fixed) and failure on build system hardware (fixed)

[17:13:10] <fkleint> gives us an idea what  LTS will imply..
[17:13:11] <jaheikki3> Last ones might be related to one CI machine. That machine offline now & new integration try ongoing
