QtWebKit code camp 08-10.12.2009

More than 30 developers gathered together for QtWebKit code camp in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Intro & general presentations

In the beginning there were three presentations:

• Henri Haverinen: QtWebKit roadmapping & using ​Qt Jira
• Kenneth Christiansen: How Web and ​QML fit together
• Akos Kiss: WebKit related activities at the University of Szeged​

After that people were split into five work stream: Performance & Architecture, User Interface, JavaScriptCore, QA and Relasing & Roadmapping

Performance & Architecture

User Interface

Java Script Core

QA

Informal presentation with discussion:

• Andras Becsi (bbandix): Problems with the current Qt DRT, + a tool to monitor and query historic test results
• Gabor Rapcsanyi (rgabor): Current buildbot setup and the future upgrade possibilities
• Csaba Osztrogonac (ossy): Qt build infrastructure and problems with incremental builds
• Tor Arne Vestbø (torarne): Cross platform layout-test results using SVG-fonts and automation of interpreting results

The discussion spawned off a few action points:

• Use automated tools to parse test results and give us more information about where we are
• Split of Qt buildbot into build and tests stages (makes it easier to detect Qt build breaks)
• Fix the Qt incremental build to detect dependencies in generated sources correctly
• Try to use SVG fonts to get the same results on mac,win,linux (++)
