Bug#535828: Debian Packaging advancements



Hello Joachim,

first of all, it has to properly build on i386 _and_ amd64. I think I
spotted all positions where the compiler complained when assuming that a
pointer size is 32, but I only changed it to 64, so this is not a proper
solution.

Currently we do not support amd64 officially and do not have enough resources (have more high-priority tasks) to do in the near future. So what you done is better than nothing :). 

Also, docbook-xsl is provided in Debian. I did not try yet to use that
package instead of the one in 3rd/. Is the patch
3rd/docbook/1.68.1/_patches/patch-docbook.xsl
really required?
 
No, the patch seems to be unnecessary, think it can be ignored.

The files
serna/core/qt/qtsingleapp/qtsingleapplication*.cpp
only contain a header that Licensees holding a Qt Solutions License
Agreement may use the code, the GPL header is missing. This should be
fixed, as otherwise it’s not clear that Serna is really under the GPL.

Thanks for the point, I will discuss this with our architect. Anyway, there is http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtsingleapplication/  a LGPL version of this component (but actually I have no idea how they compatible are).
 
Besides that, I’m quite happy with serna: Once it compiled, it seemed to
work nicely, so segfaults etc., which is not always the case with
just-freed-commercial-applications. I haven’t really used it much,
though.

Our QA rocks! :)


Thanks,
    Andrew
