Project:Qt/Meeting/2013-01


 * Date: January 26
 * Time: 09:00-11:00 UTC (see this page for local times)
 * Place: #gentoo-meetings on Freenode IRC

0. Roll call

 * Present: hwoarang, pesa, yngwin
 * Absent: kensington, wired

1. Qt5 progress update

 * ebuilds for all qtbase modules should be complete now
 * there are a few known bugs, most are fixable
 * bug 451456 could be a pita, since upstream is not interested in supporting to build qtbase modules entirely seperately
 * ✅ pesa opened Qt5 tracker bug
 * apps such as linguist and designer have slot collision; we decided to add blockers for now, and revisit making parallel install possible later
 * qtwebkit:5 has automagic deps, help to fix that is welcome

2. Qt category move

 * taking into consideration the feedback on naming the new qt category on the gentoo-dev mailing list, we decided to go for dev-qt
 * feedback from dev ml was also strongly in favour of keeping the qt-* prefix on packages, but we decided to go with qt* instead of qt-*, since that is what upstream uses.
 * the new category will be exclusively for modules from upstream's Qt Framework, not for third-party add-ons or related libs
 * moving Qt4 involves more work, but makes sense
 * TODO yngwin will make a plan for the move, which will be announced on dev ml
 * if necessary we will ask infra to suspend cvs to rsync mirroring until the move is complete
 * TODO hwoarang will find out how many files/packages will need to be editted
 * timeline for move to be confirmed, weekend of Feb 9/10 was suggested (but Chinese New Year then)
 * x11-libs/qt-assistant -> dev-qt/qthelp
 * x11-libs/qt-qt3support -> dev-qt/qt3support
 * x11-libs/qt-meta -> dev-qt/qt-meta (since this is not an upstream module, follow gentoo -meta convention)

3. Remaining TODO items from last time
See Project:Qt/Meeting/2012-12
 * Qt5: package the toolwrapper (pesa): no upstream release yet, can wait
 * qt4-r2.eclass translation handling move to l10n.eclass TODO yngwin: low prio, sometime in next 4 weeks
 * 444262: avidemux - mask the package, but keep both 2.5 and 2.6 in tree (hwoarang): done by yngwin, and contacted by user interested in maintaining
 * 347707: photivo - can we get a snapshot into official tree? (hwoarang) - done already
 * 442414: app-editors/focuswriter - who wants to add an elog? TODO yngwin: hope to do within a week
 * 410911: net-im/psi-0.15 version bump: TODO yngwin, since pesa has no time for this
 * 269110: new ebuild app-text/coolreader3 - in qt overlay now, see if it's ready to add release ebuild - TODO yngwin: reconsider wrt alternatives
 * 440584: x11-libs/qt-gui: some elog messages should only be shown when upgrading from an old enough package - TODO yngwin (low priority): see if new readme eclass can be applied here
 * TODO yngwin to write recruitment announcement: this weekend

4. Open bugs

5. Open floor
