Hi Adam,

It seems that QA couldn't compile the revision but I can on my
side. Maybe you can resend the patch so that QA re-evaluates the patch?

Thanks,

Hello,

(adding the Qt team in CC)

I have tried to build the package, but get a hash mismatch:
  expected hash: 0q8j2prs7713drwdgxwi1dhzk4gp9d908bx6p15fh5x2ffb676v6
  actual hash:   1ws8y38gmcg63zmq67sx1px21d0ssncgy6bmkn26471fl1854adw
hash mismatch for store item '/gnu/store/q6k9hx61c940akz8arwbh4v84jl3slpc-firebird-emu-1.6-checkout'
build of /gnu/store/x8mb0b752vrjqc68hwp80rfjnw8nkn0v-firebird-emu-1.6-checkout.drv failed

The description says that the package does not ship a ROM image, but
I suppose it can be used without one?

It is a bit unfortunate to introduce a package relying on Qt5 while I think
we are slowly moving towards Qt6.

Is it necessary to propagate qtdeclarative-5 and qtquickcontrols-5,
or could this be handled differently?

Finally I am not sure whether the license is gpl3 or gpl3+.
I did not find license headers in the source code, but this statement in
README.md:
"This work (except the icons from the KDE project) is licensed under the GPLv3."
So I think it might to safer to interpret this as GPLv3 only.

Hello Adam,

are you still interested in the package? If yes, it would be nice if you
could prepare a new revision taking my comments into account.

If not, I would suggest to close the issue.
