Too many news items to summarize easily, so I'll just give a list instead as a status update: - Autopilot tests were largely succeeding for some test suites (ubuntu-ui-toolkit, unity8) but had ~5% failures. Qt 5.2.1 seems to get 100% pass for those two, but some smaller apps still have failing tests, some for obvious reasons like lack of multimedia. - This week the rootstock-ng was announced by Oliver, so system images with 5.2 PPA should be possible to create now for more automated testing: https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg06352.html - Qt 5.2.1 is in the qt5-beta2 PPA as of today. The upstream bugfixes should be helpful, including the remaining V4 fixes that were done. The new QML engine has needed polishing also from Ubuntu developers, so let's hope it's now stable in 5.2.1 (+ a couple of cherry-picked patches that didn't make it to 5.2.1). - I've filed FFe for Qt 5.2(.1) at http://pad.lv/1278329 since it's not possible to get everything done by the timeframe. This is because of our "images are always flawless" / "no regressions" development methods, making this transition a big effort until it can be landed. Currently uploading Qt 5.2.1 would result in many regressions still. When the builds and rebuilds of 100 packages start, it will also take some time, potentially several days, to get everything built for all architectures taking the dependency chains into account. A few Qt 5.2.1 specifics, interesting to a subset of developers that want to eg. debug: - To test Qt 5.2.1, the latest instructions are always at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2 - As requested for performance evaluation, Qt 5.2.1 is now built in release mode, without any debug flags (that were requested earlier). - I try to offer optional "+debug" packages of Qt in another (reused) PPA https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-proper - it should work so that you enable that in addition to the normal Qt 5.2 PPA. - Any packages in the main qt5-beta2 PPA not yet rebuilt against the new Qt may still have inherited the old qtbase's debug flag. - When using the debug builds of Qt, you may need to rebuild the package being debugged in debug mode as well to get good backtraces. - If ever needed, I snapshotted a full backup of Qt 5.2.0 + packages built against it at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/backup-qt520 Needed work to be done, interesting to those which have affected components: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtvideo-node/+bug/1267818 - The updated qtmultimedia-touch to bring working multimedia, now that it needs to be maintained still for this cycle - Any packages installing mkspecs file need possibly to adjust themselves or detect Qt version, since Debian changed the mkspecs directory (example maliit-framework http://pad.lv/1279235) - this will show up as breaking builds. We largely do use CMake though. - Any other bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.tag=qt5.2 now open or filed soon by eg. the QA team - As usual, all autopilot tests need to pass and QA team will validate an image built with Qt 5.2.1 as passing - Qt Creator 3.0 + plugin from the SDK team (I've understood this should be already in relatively good shape) -Timo -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
