(5:04:16 PM) peter-h: akseli: pong (5:04:17 PM) wolfgang-b: Maybe it is part of the RC1 status, but I want to have decision regarding this patch https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72023 (5:05:36 PM) akseli: ok, lets include that. feel free to raise additional topics at the end of the meeting (5:05:41 PM) akseli: Starting from Qt 5.2 RC1 status (5:05:56 PM) akseli: Unfortunately we have had both connection problems on build system and broken submodule update (fixed yesterday evening) during weekend so there is no packages available. (5:06:16 PM) akseli: We were able to get missing iOS installers at the end of the last week before those problems occured. (5:06:28 PM) anshaw_ left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 264 seconds). (5:06:38 PM) akseli: All items from Finalizing Qt5.2 RC1 -list (http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/releasing/2013-November/001508.html) are now either already merged or integrating. (5:07:10 PM) akseli: meaning original email and ecluding later raised https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72023 (5:07:50 PM) akseli: Also all items from "Issues to be fixed before Qt5.2 RC1 release" (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-33863) (5:08:55 PM) akseli: are either merged or integrating. Due to connection or submodule update problem packages are not available so we are not able to verify all yet (5:09:23 PM) thiago: when should we see that? (5:09:26 PM) akseli: therefore QTBUG-33863 is not quite up to date also (5:10:04 PM) akseli: we are aiming to have submodule update & builds during the night so tomorrow is the day for heavy testing (5:11:27 PM) thiago: great (5:12:19 PM) akseli: did i miss something, iieklund^ mapaaso^ ankokko^ (5:12:39 PM) ankokko: akseli: just noticed this: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72149 (5:12:40 PM) iieklund: akseli: qml2puppet build issue on linux, kakoehne? (5:13:01 PM) iieklund: kkoehne ^ (5:13:27 PM) iieklund: some recent change in qmake(?) broke the qml2puppet builds on linux, kai/eike was looking at this today (5:16:21 PM) akseli: proposing https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72149 for RC1 to be known issue and fix for final (5:17:11 PM) akseli: if that gets in & integrated earlier then fine but i doubt it will be on time on nightly build (5:17:37 PM) thiago: I agree (5:17:38 PM) thiago: stage it (5:17:41 PM) wolfgang-b: Ok, so what about the mentioned configure patch https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72023? Do we want it or is just the failure of the user if configure fails without any messages? (5:17:46 PM) thiago: it'll be there for the final (5:18:10 PM) thiago: it seems cosmetic to me (5:18:21 PM) thiago: people shouldn't have scripts that pass bad arguments (5:18:44 PM) wolfgang-b: forget about the scripts, what if someone passes them manually? (5:18:46 PM) thiago: also, there's some dispute whether configure should complain about bad arguments or if it should just chug along with what it did understand (5:19:13 PM) thiago: I'd say it's a good fix, but not enough to delay the RC (5:19:14 PM) wolfgang-b: both would be fine, currently it just fails without anything (5:19:16 PM) thiago: or the final, for that matter (5:20:15 PM) thiago: I'd say stage it, but don't hold back package building (5:20:26 PM) wolfgang-b: fine with me (5:20:39 PM) akseli: thiago: wolfgang-b: ok, thank you (5:22:03 PM) akseli: about qml2puppet. i think kakoehne & eike had some progress with that. of course have to be fixed in order to get linux packages but it doesn affect to submodule updates etc (5:22:46 PM) akseli: so with above mentioned fixes & decisions we will release RC1 later this week (5:23:01 PM) akseli: if of course no new blockers are found on testing (5:23:03 PM) akseli: does all agree? (5:23:28 PM) iieklund: yes (5:24:01 PM) fkleint: yup (5:24:08 PM) ankokko: yes (5:24:09 PM) wolfgang-b: yes (5:24:14 PM) ZapB: yes (5:24:15 PM) mapaaso: yes (5:25:26 PM) akseli: ok, thank you .. then next item (5:25:39 PM) akseli: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git & version info (5:26:30 PM) fkleint: How does that relate to releases? (5:27:46 PM) akseli: there have been some discussio about different minimum versions (e.g. python, mysql etc) which are supported on Qt releases (5:28:23 PM) thiago: are we having build issues? (5:28:31 PM) akseli: or which all configurations & versions are currently supported by default with different Qt versins (5:28:49 PM) akseli: is that sort of information available somewhere at the moment? (5:29:08 PM) akseli: or should it be documented, if not that wiki page, then similar (5:29:09 PM) akseli: ? (5:30:08 PM) fkleint: it should be documented *somewhere* , but that wiki page is only for build tools, so , mysql etc is a different issue (5:30:16 PM) akseli: thiago: no build issues (5:31:02 PM) fkleint: that information is currently spread all over the place, fex for XCB, there is a README ins the source code... (5:31:27 PM) fkleint: not sure whether there should be a central page and how to maintain it (5:32:51 PM) ankokko: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72023 -> missing approval (5:32:59 PM) ankokko: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,72149 -> staged (5:33:51 PM) wolfgang-b: ankokko, I know, I hoped thiago or someone else will approve it, I cannot (5:35:29 PM) thiago: oh (5:35:50 PM) thiago: done now (5:35:56 PM) wolfgang-b: thiago, thx (5:36:09 PM) ankokko: ok, thanks (5:36:16 PM) akseli: ankokko: thiago: thank you (5:36:17 PM) akseli: ok, maybe that version info is something which should be handled on mailing list (5:36:52 PM) akseli: and i agree that building from git wiki page is not correct place to have all that information (5:37:42 PM) akseli: but any other items\topics anyone? besides next meeting (5:40:04 PM) akseli: if nothing else then is next Monday 16 CET alright for all? (5:40:21 PM) fkleint: Yup, I guess,.in the hopes of having an RC...
