Hi Holger,

I would say there is intent but nothing that could seriously be called
a "plan" right now.

With respect to specific tools, Jenkins has a bit of traction, because
it is similar to the non-free tool we are currently using (Pulse)
and it is also coincidentally being used in a few places within Nokia
already.

There is a loosely defined team taking care of the existing CI
and code review tool within Nokia.  I didn't see any discussions yet
about establishing a new team under the "Qt Project" umbrella, so I
imagine the Nokia team will also act as the Qt Project team at least
for a while.  However there is a definite priority problem here, which
could be avoided by a team with a bit more distance to Nokia.

This list seems a fine place for discussions for now, all the relevant
people are subscribed.

Am I understanding correctly that you want to provide these image
results for use as baselines, for regression checking?

In that case, if they are really for a specific product, then I think
they should not be provided with Qt, but rather with whatever
scripts/packaging metadata/etc you are using to deploy Qt for that
product;

If they are generic enough to be usable for e.g. "any" DirectFB backend,
then it may be appropriate to check them into the source tree, if they
are fairly stable.  If they're likely to be unstable, or they are very
large, we don't have any good solution at the moment :(
