[17:01:10] <frkleint> jaheikki3: pong
[17:01:43] <+jaheikki3> Time to start qt release team meeting
[17:01:51] <+jaheikki3> On agenda today
[17:01:55] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.7 status
[17:01:58] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.8 status
[17:02:07] <+jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:03:22] <+jaheikki3> Let's start from Qt 6.7 status
[17:03:42] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.7.3 release content is frozen
[17:04:09] <+jaheikki3> And packages mostly created, b2qt needed an update & new packages coming
[17:04:34] <+jaheikki3> Package testing will start tomorrow
[17:04:50] <+jaheikki3> and the target is to release Qt 6.7.3 this Friday
[17:05:10] <+jaheikki3> and as earlier said it will be the last release from Qt 6.7 series
[17:05:33] <+jaheikki3> That's all about Qt 6.7 status at this time. Any comments or questions?
[17:05:52] <vohi[M]> jaheikki3: Sounds good. Cherry-pick bot still complains about 6.7 missing in a 'pick-to: 6.8 6.5' line; I guess that will stop once 6.7.3 has been released?
[17:06:44] <+jaheikki3> Yes, we will close '6.7' after Qt 6.7.3 is closed and after that bot should stop complaining about missing Pick-to: 6.7
[17:07:02] <+jaheikki3> after Qt 6.7.3 is released I meant
[17:08:15] <+jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.8 status
[17:08:54] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.8.0 RC content is frozen, packages are created and tested
[17:09:16] <+jaheikki3> and those are already publicly available and production testing is ongoing
[17:10:06] <+jaheikki3> so in practise Qt 6.8.0 RC is released today but official announcements will be done tomorrow morning, after all production tests are done and results verified
[17:10:30] <+jaheikki3> The target is to release Qt 6.8.0 Final release Tue 8th September
[17:10:38] <+jaheikki3> blocker list here https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=26320
[17:10:48] <frkleint> 8th October?
[17:11:08] <+jaheikki3> Yes, 8th of October. Thanks frkleint!
[17:11:41] <+jaheikki3> In the blocker list there is already couple of new issues and those will be fixed between RC and final
[17:12:10] <+jaheikki3> That's all about 6.8 status. Any comments or questions?
[17:14:17] <+jaheikki3> Ok, let's end this meeting now & have new one Tue 8th October at this same time (we have team meeting next Tue and that's why we need to skip meeting tue 1st of October)
