[Releasing] Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 11.09.2018

[Jani Heikkinen]

Meeting minutes from Qt Release Team meeting 11th September 2018

Qt 5.12 status:
- Alpha snapshot available and testing ongoing
- Unfortunately new blocker found: compilation from release src packages seems to fail, see QTBUG-70056 & QTBUG-69874.
   * Fix proposal is already available: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/239424/
- Target is to create new alpha packages immediately when fix is in, run RTA & put Alpha finally out
   * Let's see if that can still happen during this week
- API review still ongoing. Many submodules has already '+2' but many still missing it, see https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/status:open+branch:5.12+topic:api-review,n,z
   * Hoping we can finalize API review soon

Qt 5.11.2 status:
- We have "RC" packages available  & RTA is ongoing
   * Unfortunately same blocker is affecting '5.11.2' (compilation from release src packages seems to fail, see QTBUG-70056 & QTBUG-69874)
- Target is to get the fix in and create new release packages as soon as possible. Then new RTA round & release out if all OK
   * Getting release out during this week will be tight; let's see it that will happen or not...

Next meeting Tue 18.9.2018 16:00 CET

[17:02:18] <jaheikki3_> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:03:59] <jaheikki3_> Let's startr from 5.12 status:
[17:04:09] <jaheikki3_> Alpha snapshot available and testing ongoing
[17:04:20] <jaheikki3_> Unfortunately new blocker found: compilation from release src packages seems to fail, see QTBUG-70056 & QTBUG-69874.
[17:04:21] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: QtWayland build fails with "qwayland-server-wayland.h: No such file or directory" - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70056 (In Progress)
[17:04:22] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: Building from sources fails with private/qqmljsgrammar_p.h: No such file or directory - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69874 (Closed)
[17:04:58] <jaheikki3_> Fix proposal is already available in '5.11.2'
[17:05:20] <jaheikki3_> when in '5.11.2' it will then be merged in '5.12'
[17:05:21] <lars> jaheikki3_: for the second one ossi pushed a fix. Maybe cherry-pick that one into 5.12
[17:05:26] <lars> or do the merge
[17:06:12] <jaheikki3_> lars: That second one we have the fix in packages but it isn't enough
[17:06:42] <jaheikki3_> lars: I hope https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/239424/ is enough
[17:06:43] <qt_gerrit> lars: [qt/qtbase/5.11.2] syncqt: fix forwarding injected headers, take ~3 from Oswald Buddenhagen - https://codereview.qt-project.org/239424 (NEW)
[17:06:53] <lars> jaheikki3_: yes, that's the one I meant
[17:06:57] <jaheikki3_> ok
[17:07:21] <jaheikki3_> Plan is to merge/cherry pick that in '5.12' immediately when approved and in
[17:08:03] <jaheikki3_> And whne fix is in '5.12' we will start new packaging round
[17:08:17] <lars> jaheikki3_: we could also cherry-pick it directly into 5.12 to accelerate things a bit
[17:09:00] <jaheikki3_> lars: That would be OK for me as well
[17:09:02] <lars> jaheikki3_: approved the patch now. to a degree we have to trust ossi on that stuff
[17:09:39] <jaheikki3_> lars: And I staged it :D
[17:10:53] <jaheikki3_> So target is to get the release out as soon as possible. Let's see if that can still happen during this week or not....
[17:11:05] <jaheikki3_> API review still ongoing
[17:11:15] <jaheikki3_> Many submodules has already '+2' but many still missing it, see https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/q/status:open+branch:5.12+topic:api-review,n,z
[17:11:36] <jaheikki3_> Hoping we can finalize API review soon 
[17:11:59] <jaheikki3_> But that's all about 5.12 status at the moment. Any comments or questions?
[17:13:48] <jaheikki3_> Ok, then Qt 5.11.2 status:
[17:14:03] <jaheikki3_> We have "RC" packages available  & RTA is ongoing
[17:14:19] <frkleint> and it is able to build now?
[17:14:32] <jaheikki3_> Unfortunately same blocker there, see see QTBUG-70056 & QTBUG-69874
[17:14:32] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: QtWayland build fails with "qwayland-server-wayland.h: No such file or directory" - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70056 (In Progress)
[17:14:33] <qt_gerrit> jaheikki3_: Building from sources fails with private/qqmljsgrammar_p.h: No such file or directory - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69874 (Closed)
[17:14:40] <frkleint> meh,ok
[17:15:28] <jaheikki3_> But otherwise packages seems to be OK so target is to get the fix in, create new packages & run new RTA round
[17:15:44] <jaheikki3_> And if all OK put the release finally out
[17:16:19] <jaheikki3_> Getting it out during this week will be tight but we are still trying...
[17:16:50] <jaheikki3_> That's all about 5.11.2 status. Any comments or questons?
