Summary
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
- Done 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
- yngwin will make a plan for the move, which will be announced on dev ml Done
- if necessary we will ask infra to suspend cvs to rsync mirroring until the move is complete Done
- hwoarang will find out how many files/packages will need to be edited Done
- timeline for move to be confirmed, weekend of Feb 9/10 was suggested (but Chinese New Year then) => postponed to the first weekend of March
- 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

- 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
- yngwin to write recruitment announcement: Done March 2
