[17:03:32] <jaheikki3> Qt 5.15 status
[17:03:39] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:05:08] <jaheikki3> let's start from 5.14.1 status
[17:05:20] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately we don't have release packages in place yet
[17:06:20] <jaheikki3> All needed changes should be available but few still integrating
[17:07:04] <jaheikki3> qt5.git update for final content will be done immediately when all changes are ready  
[17:07:27] <jaheikki3> Hoping that can happen later today or early tomorrow
[17:08:02] <thiago> is the integration the only thing missing?
[17:08:02] <jaheikki3> Then we will create final packages & execute RTA tests for final packages
[17:08:27] <jaheikki3> thiago: All needed changes should be in or integrating
[17:08:52] <jaheikki3> Others should be OK to be postponed toQt 5.14.2
[17:09:35] <jaheikki3> Target is to get the release out still during this week but let's see; there isn't that much time for new delays anymore...
[17:10:04] <jaheikki3> That's pretty much all about Qt 5.14.1 status now. Any more comments or questions?
[17:12:04] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 5.12.7 status:
[17:12:14] <jaheikki3> Branching ongoing, target is to do final downmerge Wed 22nd January
[17:12:50] <jaheikki3> First snaphot also create & published
[17:13:05] <thiago> any trouble so far?
[17:13:22] <jaheikki3> Nothing alarming so far
[17:13:48] <carewolf> we have some backports coming in that first had to get into 5.14.1, but should be done in a day or two
[17:15:03] <jaheikki3> carewolf: yes, I  just stage one update in
[17:15:18] <carewolf> there will be one more I think
[17:15:28] <jaheikki3> Ok
[17:15:50] <thiago> they need to be backported straight into the 5.12.7 branch then
[17:15:59] <carewolf> yes
[17:16:23] <jaheikki3> But otherwise it seems we are pretty close to Qt 5.12.7 release
[17:16:42] <jaheikki3> Almost all changes files are already in, only webengine one is still missing & waiting those chromium updates...
[17:17:19] <jaheikki3> So hoping we can get the final content in place during this week & get the release out during next on
[17:17:48] <jaheikki3> that's all about Qt 5.12.7. Any more comments or questions?
[17:18:41] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 5.15 status:
[17:18:57] <jaheikki3> First snapshot published
