[17:04:53] <jaheikki3> Let's start qt 6.0.1 status [17:06:02] <jaheikki3> Unfortunately there is new release blockers found and that's why we don't have release packages in place yet [17:06:20] <jaheikki3> Release blocker list here: Current blocker list here: https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=22766 [17:06:57] <jaheikki3> Study ongoing and it seems we have a fix proposal in place. Let's see if that will fix all remaining issues or not... [17:07:39] <jaheikki3> Target is to get the fix in the packages as soon as possible and if all OK publish Qt 6.0.1 soon after that [17:08:06] <jaheikki3> Let's see if that can still happen during this week [17:08:18] <jaheikki3> That's all about qt 6.0.1. Any comments or questions? [17:08:30] <carewolf> sounds good [17:08:46] <akseli> I agree [17:09:22] <jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt 6.1.0 status [17:09:50] <jaheikki3> We haven't published any snapshot yet [17:10:26] <jaheikki3> Target was to publish first one during last week but those download.qt.io issues prevented us to do that [17:11:01] <jaheikki3> All should be ok now & target is to publish snapshot later this week [17:11:19] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.1 Feature freeze will be in effect at the end of this week [17:12:06] <jaheikki3> And target is to branch 6.1 from 'dev' after that. So branching will be done Monday 1st February [17:12:25] <jaheikki3> That's all about 6.1 status. Any comments or questions? [17:13:30] <akseli> sounds like a plan [17:13:53] <carewolf> do we have the new modules ready? [17:14:47] <carewolf> I am unsure if I need to do anything extra for qtwebsockets and qtwebchannel [17:15:15] <thiago> which ones were expected to oin the release in 6.1 and what's left after this? [17:15:24] <jaheikki3> carewolf: ok so thos are coming also. Unfortunately those haven't been in new modules list yet [17:15:54] <carewolf> yes [17:16:23] <jaheikki3> carewolf: cmake port is done and CI is up and running? That is pretty much what is needed at the moment [17:17:38] <carewolf> jaheikki3: it should be [17:17:47] <jaheikki3> I need to do own jira items for those in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-90258 [17:17:57] <carewolf> I just found I had to bumd the dependencies manually yesterday [17:18:13] <carewolf> ok [17:19:25] <jaheikki3> thiago: current understanding is ones linked in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-90258 [17:19:38] <jaheikki3> + those 2 ones carewolf just told [17:20:54] <thiago> so what's left? [17:20:57] <thiago> qtwebengine? [17:21:11] <carewolf> + qtwebview [17:21:21] <thiago> qtwebview depends on enginie, so yeah [17:21:33] <carewolf> I guess qtmultimeida is a big one [17:21:48] <carewolf> and qtlocation [17:22:04] <jaheikki3> Yeah, quite many still missing [17:23:06] <jaheikki3> carewolf: btw, it seem webchannel is still using qmake builds in CI [17:23:41] <carewolf> jaheikki3: could be, I think it should work with cmake, but I can double check [17:24:08] <carewolf> it also need a dependency bumb [17:24:34] <jaheikki3> Thanks. I just checked from coin and sockets was ok but channel not [17:25:02] <thiago> those are expected for 6.2? the lack of complete support is hindering 6.x adoption [17:25:15] <thiago> it'll mean we need a longer beta period for when they do come [17:25:42] <jaheikki3> And we need to get bump automated for these additional libraries as well. But that isn't anyhow related to FF [17:26:37] <jaheikki3> thiago: do you mean those multimedia, location etc which are missing still from 6.1? [17:26:56] <thiago> yes [17:27:17] <jaheikki3> According to my understanding plan is to compete the moduleset in 6.2 [17:30:03] <jaheikki3> Lars has already communicated the initial 6.2 schedule in his mail (https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2020-November/040704.html); Let's hope that schedule will be enough [17:31:04] <jaheikki3> I think this was all at this time. So let's end this meeting now & have new one tue 2nd February 2021 at this same time [17:31:19] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
