7.1.0 Release and students branches merge...

[Gilles Caulier-4]

Hi all,

We are near 7.1.0. This one will be a maintenance release with
improvements and a huge bugs triaging.

I plan to release 7.1.0 this weekend if AppImage build is restored.
Currently all is broken with a Qt 5.15 migration which does not work.
I revert all to Qt 5.14.2.

When 7.1.0 will be tagged, it will be time to merge student branches to master.

I propose to merge back Kartik branch, synchronise Nghia branch with
master, fix build, and merge back Nghia branch to master.

This plan is fine for you ?

Best regards

Gilles

Hi Gilles,

Yes, I think this is the most stable way. Since Nghia has also worked on some interfaces between facesmanagement and facesengines, merging his branch at last is more appropriate.

Best,

Hi all,

This morning, i think the MacOS build will be fixed, after 3 days of
intensive search. In fact the XCode compiler was badly updating a
signature on the computer and Macports was unable to detect the right
compiler version and fail to compile a few packages.

I will tag 7.1.0 now and start to merge students' branches to master
as planed : Kartik in first and Nghia in second.

7.2.0 developpement will be ready to start soon. I will release 7.1.0
tarball and bundles using the git tag as well. I need to check if all
compile fine from the Application first.When all is ready i will send
another mail here...

Best

Hi all,

I'm facing a problem, step by step with the Macports packages. I
updated Xcode to last stable, and now plenty of packages are broken at
compile time. I report these problems one by one to Macports bugzilla.
It advances but slowly. So It's possible that I will delay until next
week end the release.

The problem with Macports is that we cannot go back to a previous
version of a package, and when a package compilation is broken, it's
generally a good idea to recompile all from scratch, to be sure, due
to side effects.

To conclude, before to release a major version of digiKam:

NEVER update Apple compiler.
NEVER recompile whole Macports.
NEVER update MacOS even if there are security issues.
etc...

It's always a waste of time...

Best

Hi all,

After one week of work, I finally restored the MacOS build workflow by
reversing the XCode version. Apple has simply forwarded a beta  update
to the users in AppStore and of course i updated without a double
check. AppStore must propose a stable version, not beta version !

Now all compile and run fine. I tag 7.1.0 on git and prepare final
files for the release targeted to Sunday.
