Note that in Debian we had to rush with a snapshot because of the transition freeze. In Ubuntu it would make sense to at least wait until 5.7.1 final release.

I unfortunately won't have time to properly work on this until January, so help is welcome if you want to populate the PPA earlier. Qtbase is now done, which is the biggest module, but all others and fixing the builds of reverse dependencies is pending.

Thanks to my earlier started 5.7.0 work updating to 5.7.1 might not be too problematic. 5.7.0 showed initially lots of problems, hopefully 5.7.1 fixes the upstream problems.

In addition to the packages in Debian, Ubuntu has the twin -gles Qt module packages, ubuntu-ui-toolkit, ciborium, unity8 etc which are needed to work before publishing the PPA to archives, as well as autopkgtests.

Synced and building up to qtdeclarative now. I agree though upgrading to 5.7.1 final would be wise at least for the qtbase and qtdeclarative. For others, maybe selectively in order to not fork all packaging from Debian. It'd be nice to continue to sync the 10+ unchanged modules.

In Debian we are also going to update to 5.7.1 final when it's released. The changes between snapshot and final should not break the ABI.

Ok this is likely my last update this year. Some nice progress in 1985 PPA, many modules merged or synced from Debian (the 5.7 git snapshot version), and some reverse dependency private ABI users build fine, including now Ubuntu UI Toolkit and Unity 8. This is a pretty good basis to continue from in January (including upgrading all of them to final 5.7.1 release).

summary: - Update Qt to 5.7
+ Update Qt to 5.7.1

Just for the completeness of the changes I've put:

Having added the Kubuntu-folks, since having an up-to-date Qt-version is quite essential for a successful build of an KDE-environment within the Ubuntu-flavors eco-system.

Not having this, puts their efforts on a hold to have their stuff uploaded (of course they can somehow or another fiddle around it within their staging ppa's – producing breakage wt the rest of the archive (personal xperience)). Being called Area51 on BSD.

Sticking to the Zesty-Release-Schedule [1] their earliest chance to publish successfully then would be Alpha-2 (late January).

Qt 5.7.1 is still not released but hopefully everything would be ready on upstream side by beginning of January. It seems 5.7.1 will still have regressions compared to 5.6.1, at least https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/177422, hopefully nothing else.

It's there (much earlier than anybody thought):

This is just for the records, I personally am not impatient. Wishing you, Timo, a nice year's ending – knowing that you are quite occupied.

...except for the guy who commented on the Qt blog with "what took y'all so long?" :)

Enjoy the holidays!

Well, he got a nice & sensible reply.
Made a new LP-bug 1650662 out of it (upgrade SW-version–Qt-Creator) x-refd this bug there.

btw Debian was pretty fast to incorporate new Qt -lightspeed- Big thanks!

1985 PPA is now being updated and probably usable for many purposes within a day or two, given that there _should_ be no build time surprises at least for most components.

In proposed. http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#qtbase-opensource-src

KDE autopkgtest failures will need to be either fixed or forced to be ignored by contacting release team. Other autopkgtests should be passing and I will also monitor those.
