[Releasing] Qt 5.9 prebuild binary packages( was: Re: [Development] Qt 5.9)

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi all,

I finally managed to do testing how big combined windows installer would be. I was a bit surprised that it is only ~3.3 GB, which is still smaller than combined mac-android-ios installer ;) Ok, this is done from 5.8 packages & binaries so situation might be a bit different in 5.9 where we will have some new binaries to be done. But in the other hand we will/should drop some so I think the size of combined one should be still manageable.

So I propose we will offer following set of offline installers from Qt 5.9 ->

- For linux we will have 3 installers (instead of existing 5):
   * qt-enterprise-linux-x64-android  (already delivering this)
   * qt-opensource-linux-x64-android (already delivering this)
      ** Desktop gcc 64-bit
      ** Android x86
      ** Android armv7
   * qt-enterprise-linux-x64-qnx (already delivering this)
      ** Desktop gcc 64-bit
      ** Qnx x86
      ** Qnx armv7
      ** NOTE: I don't think we can offer QNX 7 binaries yet so QNX 6 binaries will be offered like 5.8.0

- For mac we will have 2 installers (instead of existing 6):
   * qt-enterprise-mac-x64-android-ios (already delivering this)
   * qt-opensource-mac-x64-android-ios (already delivering this)
      ** Desktop clang 64-bit
      ** Android x86
      ** Android armv7
      ** iOS

- For windows we will have 3 installers (instead of existing 17):
   * qt-enterprise-windows-x86 (new)
   * qt-opensource-windows-x86 (new)
      ** Desktop MSVC 2013 x64
      ** Desktop MSVC 2015 x86
      ** Desktop MSVC 2015 x64
      ** Desktop MSVC 2017 x64
      ** Desktop MinGW 5.3 x86
      ** UWP MSVC 2015 x86
      ** UWP MSVC 2015 x64
      ** UWP MSVC 2015 armv7
      ** UWP MSVC 2017 x86
      ** UWP MSVC 2017 x64
      ** UWP MSVC 2017 armv7
      ** Android x86
      ** Android armv7
  * qt-enterprise-linux-x64-qnx (already delivering this)
      ** Desktop MinGW 5.3 x86
      ** Qnx x86
      ** Qnx armv7
      ** NOTE: I don't think we can offer QNX 7 binaries yet so QNX 6 binaries will be offered like 5.8.0

Or, at least, one binary per platform + compiler combination. So that's 1
Linux package, 1 macOS package, 3 Windows packages today, with a 4th Windows
(MSVC 2017) coming for 5.9.
