[17:04:54] <jaheikki3_> Ok, Qt 5.6.0 beta status:
[17:05:13] <jaheikki3_> qt5.git integration finally succeed during the weekend
[17:05:41] <jaheikki3_> New packages created but unfortunately there seems to be some issues
[17:06:33] <jaheikki3_> Windows packages seems to have some issue with kit detection & example visiblity.
[17:07:23] <fregl> jaheikki3_: is that that they have been built with the wrong architecture?
[17:07:35] <jaheikki3_> Lixux packages had problems with installation. That should be fixed now. Enterprise packages already available, os ones coming
[17:08:05] <jaheikki3_> fregl: ? 
[17:08:27] <jaheikki3_> fregl: In my opinion eike found an reason for that
[17:09:12] <akseli1> jaheikki3_: latest linux installer is working correctly
[17:10:01] <jaheikki3_> akseli1: ok, no problems with examples?
[17:10:41] <akseli1> jaheikki3_: based on very brief sanity check no problems with examples anymore
[17:10:53] <eike> latest linux and mac packages worked for me as well (wrt kit/qt registration and building tableview example)
[17:11:48] <eike> windows fix for sdktool is ready now (a qt creator build with the fix just went through, just needs repackaging in the installer)
[17:12:41] <jaheikki3_> ok, great. I'll start new packaging for windows after this meeting -> we should have snapshot for testing late this evening
[17:12:46] <fregl> ah, good :)
[17:13:14] <jaheikki3_> It seems linux & mac issues I found was some user mistakes (as usual :) )
[17:15:31] <jaheikki3_> Most of issues from blocker list should be fixed in these packages
[17:15:52] <jaheikki3_> I'll sent official testing request tomorrow morning 
[17:16:24] <jaheikki3_> Unfortunately those aren't yet final beta packages: We need to get some winRT fixes still in
[17:17:02] <jaheikki3_> & of course fix the possible new blockers found during testing
[17:17:12] <jaheikki3_> So now beta release during this week :(
[17:17:26] <jaheikki3_> But hoping already during next week
[17:18:29] <jaheikki3_> Windows x86 packages are still missing as well, hoping we could get those soon as well
[17:18:49] <jaheikki3_> Any comments / questions?
[17:21:14] <fkleint> Are the docs ok, what is the story with the Gtk style?
[17:21:25] <fkleint> + commercial addons?
[17:22:55] <jaheikki3_> fkleint: according to my understanding docs should be ok. gtk style not but it isn't blocking the beta. We will fix it before RC
[17:23:12] <fkleint> ok,..then all fingers crossed
[17:23:24] <jaheikki3_> fkleint: Commercial add-ons coming but not in these packages yet
[17:23:37] <ankokko_> fkleint: addons are on the way, had some problems building the release content today 
[17:24:54] <jaheikki3_> eike: btw, akseli1 just managed to reproduce the tableview example issue ;)
[17:26:03] <akseli1> jaheikki3_: eike: yep, now compiler is missing from kit .. configuring compiler again to kit fixes the issue
[17:27:26] <jaheikki3_> Ok, I think it was all at this time
[17:27:47] <The-Compiler> jaheikki3_: could you upload another source snapshot as well?
[17:28:08] <The-Compiler> Or do I get the same as the source snapshot when cloning qt5.git and doing ./init-repository?
[17:28:54] <jaheikki3_> The-Compiler: http://download.qt.io/snapshots/qt/5.6/5.6.0-beta/latest_src/ contains already newest src packages
[17:29:38] <The-Compiler> damn, and I started building qt5.git a few hours ago :D Thanks!
[17:29:50] <jaheikki3_> The-Compiler: And yes, you can get same sources from git as well by doing init-repository
[17:31:20] <jaheikki3_> Ok to have new meeting tue 17.11.2015 at this same time? Hoping we could give go for beta then...
[17:33:04] <akseli1> +1
[17:33:09] <ankokko_> +1
[17:34:23] <jaheikki3_> Great. Let's end this meeting now & have new one after a week

[17:04:43] <jaheikki3_> new try ongoing
[17:05:26] <jaheikki3_> It should contain fixes for most of open issues in blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47958)
[17:06:30] <jaheikki3_> At the moment only 2 issues without fixes in current integration:  QTBUG-49471 Bluetooth on Linux not working due to build issue &  QTBUG-49610 WinRT: No fonts rendered
[17:06:51] <jaheikki3_> Luckily there is fix proposals available for both
[17:08:06] <jaheikki3_> There is also one additional blocker proposal: QTBUG-49522. It is a bit unclear if it is still valid issue or not. I have asked comments from 3d quys but no reply yet
[17:08:46] <jaheikki3_> So it seems we might finally be quite close to beta
[17:09:20] <jaheikki3_> But it is sure we cannot release beta during this week: At least one qt5.git integration round needed + packaging + testing
[17:11:03] <jaheikki3_> Hoping there won't be new blockers found during testing & we can release beta finally during next week
[17:11:12] <jaheikki3_> Any comments or questions?

Subject: [Releasing] qtwebkit 5.5.2 or 5.6.0
Message-ID: <2784470.unZ8K7SGxs@tjmaciei-mobl4>

Hello

There are 17 non-merge changes in the qtwebkit repository after the 5.5.1 
release (one of them changing the version number to 5.6.0).

Is anyone working on producing the tarball for the release? Note that it is 
required because 5.5.1 will not correctly compile with qtbase 5.6.0.

There are also some changes in qtscript and qtquick1, but they don't look 
crucial (one in qtquick1 is a build fix, but it's a simple missing #include).

Hi!

What do you mean? We aren't releasing webkit with Qt 5.6.0 but user can take sources from git and use those. OK, I am not sure is those are working or not...

What comes to 5.5.2 We haven't decided if we will release it or not. At the moment there is so much hassle with 5.6 and 5.7 is already nearing so I hope we don't need to release 5.5.2 at all. At least I haven't heard anything so serious from 5.5.1 which is forcing us to release 5.5.2... In my opinion it isn't reason to release 5.5.2 if 5.5.1 webkit package cannot be used with 5.6: If there is working version in git it should be enough, webkit is deprecated already in 5.5.x

br,
Jani

I'm not 100 % sure what you mean, but from what I guess, this is about merging 
branches.
The policy is unchanged and all patches in any 5.x.y branch get merged to 
5.x.y+1 or 5.x+1.0 and forward to dev eventually (don't nail me down on the 
math here, to the next branch that makes sense).
This should happen for modules that are deprecated as long as they receive 
patches.

As for source tarballs I think we have so far not considered producing 
tarballs as Jani writes, why do you see the necessity?

Cheers,
Frederik

Distributions who have lots of apps still using qtwebkit will simply love 
these tarballs. As a last resort we can create them from git but still better 
if we can use an upstream tarball.

That is a good reason. The other is the fact that our tarballs are not simple 
equivalents of git archive, so there's some post-processing left-over that 
some users will not realise they need.

Asking people to download from Git will lead them to download from GitHub:
	https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebkit/archive/dev.zip

And we know the build from a git archive export does *not* *work*.

Please create the tarballs and upload them. They don't have to be built to 
binary and they don't have to be part of the joined source code, but they will 
need to exist.

And we'll need to keep releasing every time that we change qtbase in such a 
way that breaks the build of those modules.

Actually, disregard the part about qtscript. We promised one more release of 
it in 5.6, so it is not yet removed in Qt 5.6. It will be removed in 5.7.
