I grant you that we are always releasing something, but in this instance I was referring to the fact that 5.1 beta is already out, with the final due in just a few weeks and time is running short because of the timing of that then it might be best to hold off on doing some upgrades until a generally more safer time. As such now the merge from stable to release as to wait because of the CI trouble, which puts more pressure on the actual schedule.

If it's not 5.1, it's 5.1.1, or 5.2 beta, or 5.2 RC, or 5.2.1... not to mention our 4.x builds :) -Tony From: Shaw Andy Sent: 22. toukokuuta 2013 12:42 To: Sarajärvi Tony; [email protected] Subject: RE: Builds failing due to android host That doesn't make it a valid thing to still do, testing or not. I am not sure what others think but do we want to still do upgrades to things on CI this late into a release process? Andy From: Sarajärvi Tony Sent: 22. mai 2013 10:54 To: Shaw Andy; [email protected] Subject: RE: Builds failing due to android host We have always something coming ;) And we didn't realize that this could cause problems. We got a request to update the tool chain and we just did as requested. We should have tested this on the dev side, but we don't have the luxury of time on our side. From now on, we don't upgrade or update anything before verifying on the dev side. -Tony From: Shaw Andy Sent: 22. toukokuuta 2013 11:32 To: Sarajärvi Tony; [email protected] Subject: RE: Builds failing due to android host Maybe I missed something, but why are upgrades like this being done in the middle of a release cycle? With Qt 5.1 final due in not too long then shouldn't these kind of upgrades wait until after the final release in order to avoid this sort of thing being a problem for the release?

Regards, -Tony From: Sarajärvi Tony Sent: 21. toukokuuta 2013 13:07 To: [email protected] Subject: Builds failing due to android host Hi If your build failed due to this message "Can not detect the android host. Please use -android-ndk-host option to specify one" you can just safely restage it. We made changes to our Puppet configuration regarding Androids, and yes, the CI team caused this fail. We have a small known problem with Puppet, that currently running builds don't prevent Puppet from running. Due to this, Puppet could potentially remove compile tools from under the build. Also, when a build finishes, it reboots the machine. This reboot kills the Puppet process and everything it was doing currently. This is most likely what happened to Android tools. They were being upgraded to 64 bit tools, and on some machines Puppet was killed during this process. It will automatically retry in 90 minutes (which is Puppet's current timeout). Thus at some point it will fix itself. We have a change for this already inbound so that Puppet doesn't do this, but it's been incoming since February, so don't hold your breath ;) -Tony Tony Sarajärvi Senior Software Designer Digia, Qt Digia Plc Elektroniikkatie 10 FI-90590 Oulu Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Mobile: +358 050 482 1416 http://qt.digia.com | Blog<http://blog.digia.com/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/digiaonline> | LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/company/5119> | YouTube<http://www.youtube.com/digiaonline> | Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/digiaonline> | ------------------------------------------------------------------ PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message and any attachments are intended only for use by the named addressee and may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
