[Jani Heikkinen]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 2nd October 2018

Qt 5.12 status:
- We should have beta1 content in place
- Unfortunately exporting beta1 content from ci system fails at the moment
   * There seems to be a real issue in WE, fix here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/241667/
--> new qt5.git integration is needed after the fix is in
- Target is still to get the beta1 release out during this week & continue to publish beta2 etc regularly after that until we are ready for RC
   * RC blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19961

Qt 5.9.7:
- Branching from '5.9' -> '5.9.7' finalized
- Creating Initial changes files will start soon
- First snapshot for RTA already created and testing ongoing
- Target to create final packages for RTA immediately when all changes files are in and all blockers are fixed from blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19975)
   * Several 3rd party components to be checked for security updates
   * One real issue (QTBUG-68156) in the list; agreed it won't block the release (nothing new in 5.9.7 and workaround exists)

[17:02:01] <jaheikki3> Time to start qt release team meeting
[17:02:09] <jaheikki3> On agenda today:
[17:02:13] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.12 status
[17:02:19] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.9.7 status
[17:02:30] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:04:01] <jaheikki3> Let's start from 5.12 status
[17:04:17] <jaheikki3> We should have beta1 content in place
[17:04:28] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately exporting beta1 content from ci system fails at the moment
[17:04:39] <jaheikki3> There seems to be a real issue in WE, fix here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/241667/
[17:04:39] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: [qt/qtwebengine/5.12] Update Chromium from Michael Brüning - https://codereview.qt-project.org/241667 (INTEGRATING)
[17:05:11] <jaheikki3> --> new qt5.git integration is needed after the fix is in
[17:05:33] <jaheikki3> Target is still to get the beta1 release out during this week & continue to publish beta2 etc regularly after that until we are ready for RC
[17:05:48] <jaheikki3> RC blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19961
[17:06:34] <jaheikki3> But that's all about 5.12 status now. Any comments or questions?
[17:06:48] <thiago> sounds simple
[17:09:02] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 5.9.7 status:
[17:09:15] <jaheikki3> Branching from '5.9' -> '5.9.7' finalized today
[17:09:39] <jaheikki3> Initial changes files will be done soon; most probably tomorrow
[17:09:57] <jaheikki3> First snapshot for RTA already created and testing ongoing
[17:10:28] <jaheikki3> So far seems to be pretty much OK. Some minor findings but nothing really critical
[17:11:22] <jaheikki3> Target is to create final packages for RTA immediately when all changes files are in and all blockers are fixed from blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=19975)
[17:12:25] <jaheikki3> At the moment there is one real bug in the list (QTBUG-68156)  + several tasks for check 3rd party components
[17:12:25] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: "Incompatible version of OpenSSL" on Ubuntu 18.04 - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68156 (Open)
[17:13:15] <thiago> compiled from source or only our binaries?
[17:13:29] <jaheikki3> Any opinion related to QTBUG-68156? It is P0 at the moment but on the other hand it isn't nothing new in 5.9.7
[17:13:30] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: "Incompatible version of OpenSSL" on Ubuntu 18.04 - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68156 (Open)
[17:14:01] <jaheikki3> thiago: accoding to my understanding only in our binaries
[17:14:24] <thiago> Neither P0 nor P1, since it has been affecting people for 3 years, possibly longer
[17:14:45] <thiago> the solution for people is very simple: build from sources
[17:15:37] <jaheikki3> thiago: Yeah, I tend to agree. Could you add your comments in the case?
[17:16:03] <thiago> Yes
[17:16:46] <jaheikki3> Thanks.
[17:16:48] <jaheikki3> So conclusion is that we won't block Qt 5.9.7 because of QTBUG-68156 
[17:16:48] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3: "Incompatible version of OpenSSL" on Ubuntu 18.04 - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68156 (Open)
[17:17:51] <carewolf> I know some distros just backported the OpenSSL 1.1 support to 5.9
[17:17:53] <jaheikki3> thiago: there is couple of task to check those 3rd party libs under your responsibility. Do you have time to do needed checks soon
[17:18:34] <thiago> done
[17:18:47] <thiago> no, I don't have time
[17:19:03] <thiago> though I realise I asked for that kind of updating
[17:19:27] <thiago> I was never responsible for any of those 3rd party sources
[17:19:34] <thiago> I don't know why it's assigned to me
[17:20:07] <jaheikki3> Ok, i'll try to find someone from qt company to do needed actions
[17:21:30] <thiago> the only one I did import was the freebsd code, but it's not in need of updating
[17:21:32] <jaheikki3> that's all about 5.9.7 status at this time. Any other comments or questions?
[17:25:13] <jaheikki3> Ok, let's end this meeting now & have next one tue 9th October at this same time
[17:25:23] <jaheikki3> Thnaks for your participation. Bye!
[17:27:31] <frkleint> bye
[17:30:50] <thiago> bye
