[17:03:35] <jaheikki3> Lets start from 5.10 status [17:03:46] <jaheikki3> String freeze in effect [17:03:59] <jaheikki3> Beta 2 released 25.10 [17:04:13] <thiago> API changes still going [17:04:32] <thiago> waiting for qt5 5.10 integration to happen so I can merge in the last batch [17:04:41] <jaheikki3> Yeah, I heard that from lars [17:04:57] <thiago> should be done by the end of the week [17:05:09] <jaheikki3> ok [17:05:40] <lars> thiago: sounds good. I'll help staging once qt5.git is updated [17:05:49] <jaheikki3> But that doesn't block beta3, which is planned to happen this week [17:06:43] <thiago> you've already approved all the changes [17:07:11] <thiago> I do expect that the actual changes to qtbase will need at least one more round of updates, as the CI finds stuff [17:07:26] <thiago> correct [17:07:35] <lars> thiago: probably [17:07:43] <thiago> beta3 will contain the QString/QByteArray API update [17:07:45] <lars> but I can help get the changes to the other repo's in [17:10:21] <thiago> I don't expect there to be trouble with most of them [17:10:38] <lars> yep, neither do I :) [17:10:46] <jaheikki3> thiago: lars: We should start branching from '5.10' -> '5.10.0' soon to be able to keep the RC schedule (RC target 16.11) . Could we start branching already this week & finalize it next week after API changes are in? [17:11:35] <jaheikki3> We need ~week for soft barching period so that's why would be good to start it already during this week... [17:12:02] <thiago> sure, so long as you can still fast-forward qtbase into that [17:12:14] <thiago> hopefully it won't take long to integrate the changes [17:12:33] <jaheikki3> great. [17:13:31] <lars> on CI: fregl and nierob are currently working on fixing it. hopefully up and running again in the next 2-3 hours [17:15:26] <jaheikki3> hoping so. Let's keep fingers crossed... [17:15:38] <lars> yep [17:16:35] <jaheikki3> And for RC: We need to get all RC blockers visible in blocker list & fix those as soon as possible. Blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=18957 [17:17:18] <jaheikki3> But that's all about 5.10 at the moment. Any comments or questions? [17:19:11] <jaheikki3> Then Qt 5.9.3 status: [17:19:22] <jaheikki3> Creating first binary snapshot ongoing [17:19:36] <jaheikki3> Couple of issues in blocker list, see https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=18995 [17:20:09] <jaheikki3> Branching needs to be started now to get 5.9.3 out early enough (not to risk Qt 5.10 schedule) [17:21:11] <jaheikki3> So let's start soft branching from '5.9' -> '5.9.3' tomorrow [17:22:02] <jaheikki3> And let's start creating change files for 5.9.3 immediately after branching. As usual we will offer initial ones for maintainers [17:22:19] <jaheikki3> Any comments? [17:24:54] <jaheikki3> Ok, it was all at this time [17:25:28] <jaheikki3> Let's end the meeting now & have new one Tue 7th Nov 16:00 CET [17:25:42] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation. Bye!
