[17:01:25] <vohi> pong
[17:01:51] <+jaheikki3> Time to start Qt release team meeting
[17:01:55] <+jaheikki3> On agenda today:
[17:02:00] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.4 status
[17:02:12] <+jaheikki3> Qt 6.5 schedule
[17:02:21] <+jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:04:03] <+jaheikki3> Ok, let's start from Qt 6.4 status
[17:04:30] <+jaheikki3> QT 6.4.0 final content was frozen and testing is ongoing
[17:05:15] <+jaheikki3> unfortunately @kkoehne just reported
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-107007 and we think we need to fix that
one for .0 as well
[17:05:53] <+jaheikki3> So we will take this one in & create new packages asap
[17:05:56] <carewolf_home> Is it top configuration? Seems like the kind of
thing we could update later
[17:06:33] <+jaheikki3> well, not sure
[17:07:05] <+jaheikki3> But maybe it isn't, it seems we don't have that in our
CI or other tests
[17:07:21] <vohi> agree, as long as qtbase can be configured with -no-gui this
is acceptable, I think
[17:07:26] <carewolf_home> well, our CI don't do top-level build but build per
module
[17:08:33] <carewolf_home> oh, well not a big problem either :shrug:
[17:08:56] <thiago> I wouldn't even call -no-gui a showstopper
[17:09:14] <vohi> Perhaps enough to have that added to release-test-automation
coverage; but I don't think this should stop the show, there are ways to
exclude submodules that are very obviously depending on GUI
[17:09:58] <+jaheikki3> Ok, lets then keep this as known issue for Qt 6.4.0 and
get the fix in 6.4.1
[17:10:29] <+jaheikki3> And of course improve our test to catch this kind of
issues earlier
[17:10:59] <+jaheikki3> So we will release existing packages as Qt 6.4.0 Thu
29th September as planned
[17:11:04] <carewolf_home> not sure we want top-level build steps in
integration testing, that takes too long
[17:12:16] <+jaheikki3> carewolf_home: yeah, we need to plan to where to add
this new test
[17:12:45] <vohi> RTA is enough I think, and top-level build testing the source
package that we include in the downloads is a good idea anyway, if that's not
already done. Not sure that -no-gui is a priority though :)
[17:13:41] <+jaheikki3> Yeah, agree. There is something already in RTA but I'll
check with johanna if this could be something to be added
[17:13:45] <+jaheikki3> But it was all about Qt 6.4 status at this time. Any
more comments or questions?
[17:13:46] <carewolf_home> I always wanted a lazy tester in the background
randomly building with different combinations on and off, and opening bugs when
failing something
[17:13:55] <carewolf_home> no, questions
[17:15:26] <+jaheikki3> Ok, then Qt schedule
[17:16:08] <+jaheikki3> In last meeting minutes I proposed the schedule for
6.5, see
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2022-September/042983.html
[17:16:29] <+jaheikki3> There weren't any objections so the initial schedule
for Qt 6.5 will be
[17:16:51] <+jaheikki3> * Qt 6.5 Platform and Module freeze: 25th November 2022
[17:16:51] <+jaheikki3> * Qt 6.5 Feature Freeze: 9th December 2022
[17:16:51] <+jaheikki3> * Qt 6.5 Beta1: 15th December 2022
[17:16:51] <+jaheikki3> * Qt 6.5 RC: 16th March 2023
[17:16:51] <+jaheikki3> * Qt 6.5.0 Final release 30th March 2023
[17:18:03] <+jaheikki3> I think it was all at this time.
[17:18:42] <+jaheikki3> Let's skip next week's meeting and have new one Tue
11th October at this same time
[17:18:57] <frkleint> bye
[17:18:59] <+jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:19:06] <vohi> thanks, bye!
