[Releasing] Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 15.3.2016

[Heikkinen Jani]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 15th March 2016

Qt 5.6.0 status:
- All open blockers from RC should be now fixed in the packages which are under testing at the moment
	* Testing is still ongoing but nothing alarming reported so far
- couple of older bugs (QTBUG-51676 & QTBUG-51558) proposed to be a blocker for the release in ML
	* Agreed we can live with those with Qt 5.6.0 release as known issues. 

Qt 5.6.0 release decision: let's put 5.6.0 out tomorrow as planned (if nothing new & really serious found during testing)

Next meeting: Tue 22nd March 2016 16:00 CET

Best regards,
Jani Heikkinen
Release Manager | The Qt Company

[17:03:42] <jaheikki3_> Time to start qt release team meeting
[17:03:50] <jaheikki3_> On agenda today:
[17:04:21] <jaheikki3_> Qt 5.6.0 status & go/no go for the release
[17:04:33] <jaheikki3_> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:05:40] <ZapB> nope
[17:06:03] <jaheikki3_> Ok, the qt 5.6.0 status:
[17:06:50] <jaheikki3_> All open blockers from RC should be now fixed in the packages which are under testing at the moment 
[17:06:51] <rloehning> jaheikki3_: pong
[17:07:08] <jaheikki3_> Testing is still ongoing but nothing alarming reported so far
[17:07:54] <ZapB> well, there's the qtdbus bug thiago is going to look at and the QtQuick P1 mentioned on the list
[17:08:09] <thiago> during the deay
[17:08:10] <thiago> day
[17:08:39] <jaheikki3_> couple of older bugs (QTBUG-51676 & QTBUG-51558) proposed to be a blocker for the release in ML but according to my understanding we can liwe with those in 5.6.0 as known issue 
[17:09:36] <jaheikki3_> ZapB: Yeah, just those ones I mention above. Those have been open ~ 2week and no-one hasn't proposed those to be a blocker for the release earlier :(
[17:10:24] <jaheikki3_> As lars wrote in ML we can wait 5.6.1 for fixing those. Of course this is sad but we need to get the release out finally
[17:10:32] <thiago> if anyone has a copy of the directfb git repo, please ping me in #qt-labs
[17:10:58] <carewolf> as long as they get fixed fast, any linux distro can cherry-pick them to avoid blocking kded against 5.6.0
[17:11:13] <thiago> carewolf: indeed
[17:11:34] <thiago> but they haven't yet cherry-picked the XRandR bug for 5.4 and 5.5, which is very annoying
[17:11:39] <thiago> so I wouldn't get my hopes up
[17:12:10] <lars> just wanted to note that I agree with jaheikki3_. It's better to finally get the .0 out. I think by now we have enough content in the 5.6 branch to justify a quick 5.6.1 afterwards
[17:12:44] <jaheikki3_> yeah. I propose to put the 5.6.0 out now with these as known issues and try to get 5.6.1 out pretty quickly as well
[17:12:53] <carewolf> +1
[17:12:56] <lars> thiago: they used to be more active in adding patches to Qt in the past... ;-)
[17:13:18] <carewolf> are we getting too good, and making them complacent?
[17:13:21] <thiago> yeah, they still do
[17:13:30] <thiago> the problem is that they don't backport important things unless told specifically to
[17:13:37] <lars> carewolf: hopefully... :)
[17:13:43] <thiago> I've been waiting for opensuse guys to backport the xrandr fix and they haven't
[17:13:49] <thiago> the patch was developed by canonical
[17:14:29] <thiago> jaheikki3_: agreed
[17:14:32] <ankokko> jaheikki3_: +1
[17:17:09] <jaheikki3_> ok, it seems no-one disagrees. So let's put 5.6.0 tomorrow as planned (if nothing new & really serious found during testing) 
[17:17:21] <thiago> thanks jani!
[17:17:51] <jaheikki3_> I think it was all at this time. Let'
