[Jani Heikkinen]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 31st May 2016

Qt 5.7.0 RC status:
- All blockers from blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53038?filter=17619) are fixed & fixes are in the packages
- Packages under RTA at the moment. If all OK official test request will be sent tomorrow morning
- We will release these packages as Qt 5.7.0 rc this Friday (if nothing really serious ford during testing)
- At this time we are really trying to minimize changes between rc & final
   * Documentation changes + missing change files are exceptions, otherwise only real blockers will be taken in 
   * https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/139151/ will be postponed to Qt 5.7.1
   * Last blocker fixes from 5.6.1 will be taken in between rc & final, agreed not to block rc because of these

Qt 5.6.1 status:
- Release content freeze now
- Final packages coming soon
- Target to start testing during this week
- If nothing really serious found we will release those packages as Qt 5.6.1 during next week

Next meeting Tue 14th June 16:00 CET (if we can keep the plan above)

Br,
Jani

[17:03:20] <jaheikki3> time to start qt release team meeting
[17:03:27] <jaheikki3> On agenda today:
[17:03:37] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.7.0 RC status
[17:03:42] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.6.1 status
[17:03:52] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:04:58] <jaheikki3> Let's start from Qt 5.7.0 RC status:
[17:05:50] <jaheikki3> - All blockers from blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53038?filter=17619) are fixed & fixes are in the packages
[17:06:31] <jaheikki3> - Packages are under RTA at the moment and if results are ok, official test request will be sent tomorrow morning
[17:07:31] <jaheikki3> - Packages can be found already http://download.qt.io/snapshots/qt/5.7/5.7.0-rc/ if someone wants to take a tour
[17:08:04] <thiago> great
[17:08:18] <jaheikki3> - Target is to release these packages as Qt 5.7.0 rc this friday if nothing really serious found during testing
[17:09:28] <jaheikki3> - And we are trying to minimize changes between rc & final so mostly documentation changes & missing change files are taken in + only real blockers for the release
[17:10:39] <jaheikki3> - At the moment we know we need to merge last blocker fixes from '5.6.1' after rc but I don't want to delay the rc because of those
[17:11:49] <carewolf> good
[17:11:52] <jaheikki3> - and what about https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/139151/ ? Somehow I feel a bit scary if we need to take it in between rc & final
[17:12:28] <thiago> as I said there, it's mostly harmless
[17:12:43] <jaheikki3> yeah, mostly ;) 
[17:13:21] <jaheikki3> The question is if we can live without in in Qt 5.7.0? At least I think so as well as Simon
[17:13:46] <jaheikki3> If we can juts put it as known issue & take fix in '5.7'
[17:13:56] <jaheikki3> Just to minimize risks
[17:15:55] <jaheikki3> I propose to postpone it to Qt5.7.1. Any objections?
[17:19:43] <akseli> no objections, next topic perhaps? :)
[17:20:14] <jaheikki3> Yeah, agreed. So let's postpone https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/139151/ to Qt 5.7.1
[17:20:57] <jaheikki3> And release existing packages as Qt 5.7.0 rc this friday, is no new blockers found during testing tomorrow/thursday
[17:21:13] <jaheikki3> Thats all about 5.7.0 rc at this time
[17:21:25] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 5.6.1 status:
[17:22:15] <jaheikki3> - Release content freezed, no new changes in anymore (if something isn't really badly broken)
[17:23:19] <jaheikki3> - One new blocker found today. It is already fixed & qt5.git integration ongoing
[17:23:45] <jaheikki3> - So when integration succeed we sill create final packages for testing
[17:24:12] <jaheikki3> Target is to get those tomorrow/Thursday
[17:24:45] <jaheikki3> And if nothing really serious found release those packages as Qt 5.6.1 during next week
[17:25:02] <jaheikki3> Any comments or questions?
[17:25:51] <ankokko_> sounds good to me
[17:27:45] <jaheikki3> Ok, it was all from 5.6.1 now.
[17:28:51] <jaheikki3> Then next meeting: I propose to skip next one if all goes as planned & we get rc out this week and 5.6.1 seems to be ok for release as well
[17:29:20] <jaheikki3> So next meeting would be 14.6.2016 at this same time. OK?
[17:29:28] <akseli> +1
[17:29:30] <ankokko_> +1
[17:29:31] <fkleint> +1
[17:30:24] <jaheikki3> Great. Let's end this meeting now & put the releases out as planned ;)
[17:30:36] <jaheikki3> thanks for your participation. Bye!
[17:30:40] <ankokko_> bye
[17:30:44] <fkleint> bye
