Gentoo Qt team meeting summary

2011-04-07 1800-1900 UTC
Location: #gentoo-meetings on Freenode

present: ayoy, chiiph, pesa, tampakrap, wired
absent: abcd, spatz

1. qgtkstyle / qt-gui[gtk]

  • after wired’s recommendation, we decided to rename the gtk use flag to gtkstyle to fix the circular dep, at least until a better solution presents itself.

2. 4.7.2 stabilization

  • tampakrap requested that we stabilize together with KDE 4.6 at the end of this month (2011-04), he’ll coordinate this.
  • tracker will be created by ayoy with things we'd like to fix before the stabilization. we don’t have major blocker bugs.

3. status update: qting-edge ebuilds

  • tampakrap promised he’ll really take of it this month

4. qting-edge location

  • we’ll use both gogo and gitorious for a while and see how that goes

5. open bugs

  • bug 347868
    x11-libs/qt-core installs useless(?) env.d file

    • ayoy pointed out that we tried this in the past and failed
    • pesa will try to find why that happened
  • bug 352778
    x11-libs/qt-core: mkspecs/common/g++.conf overrides upstream QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE

    • wired and pesa talked about patching sip instead of stripping mkspecs, they will look into it – low priority since only out-of-portage builds are affected
  • bug 359391
    qt4-build.eclass should check for —buildpkgonly before downgrade sanity check

    • this is pointless since even if he manages to build qt-core, he won’t be able to build any other modules. we decided to ask the reporter what he wants to accomplish before taking action.
  • bug 360433
    x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.2 fails to compile with GCC 4.5.2 and 4.4.5

    • probably connected with #361277
  • bug 361277
    x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.2: takes -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui but shouldn’t

    • we’ll sed it out (wired)
  • bug 361303
    CFLAGS=“-pipe” is added arbitrarily when eqmake4 is called by qt4-r2.eclass

    • this is forced by mkspecs. it should be handled by eqmake4 but something has changed. we’ll have a deeper look.
  • bug 362189
    [QA] x11-libs/qt-declarative install some libs into /usr/imports

    • pesa will look into / create a patch for this
  • bug 359081
    x11-libs/qt-sql-4.7.2 fails to build with —param in flags

    • we’ll ask the reporter to report this upstream
