Qt 4.3.5: rules of the game

Message 1 in thread

If you go to http://dev.troll.no/twiki/bin/view/Development/QtRoadmap, you'll 
see that the schedule for 4.3.5 is as follows:

Qt 4.3.5    2008-05-20    3 months after 4.3.4 or after N bugfixes, whichever 
comes first

where N isn't defined yet. I'd like that to be 10 or 15 fixes. We have already 
42 commits there.

So, let's establish some rules:

*** 1. Scheduling for 4.3.5 ***

In order for a task to be scheduled for 4.3.5, it should match the following 
criteria:
 - P1
 - showstopper for *any* release
 - important regression since 4.3.3, a crash, or an extremely serious issue
 - Support says we should

It's really important we don't do anything in 4.3.5 unless it's really 
important for our clients and users, and it's Support who knows what those 
issues are.

*** 2. Submitting to qt/4.3 ***

Code and documentation changes require TWO reviews of any and every single 
submit. Not one and no TrustMes. Don't make me look for you two weeks before 
the release.

Also, they require a task number. Don't submit if you don't have a task number 
or a pretty good reason.

*** 3. ChangeLog ***

Whenever you submit, update the changelog. In almost all cases, any submit 
there warrants a note in the changelog, even if the task isn't public.

With that said, if you have done submissions to 4.3.5 since I branched, please 
add the changelog information now. This is the list of people who have 
sumitted to qt/4.3 after the branch, along with the number of submits:

      1 Andy Shaw
      1 Brad Hughes
      1 Frans Englich
      2 gunnar
      3 Håvard Wall
      6 jasaethe
      1 Jo Asplin
      1 Kai Köhne
      2 mmonsen
      3 msorvig
      1 Olivier Goffart
      1 pullatti
     11 Thiago Macieira
      2 Trenton Schulz
      6 Trond Kjernaasen

I have not updated the changelog tool.

This was obviously an internal email that I posted to the wrong list.

Please ignore it.

(Yeah, we're planning on doing a Qt 4.3.5, but that's no secret)
