Hi Moritz,

Thanks for the effort, but in the meanwhile I'm rather think we should
remove amora completely from Debian, at least for now.

Upstream (Cc'ed) tried to migrate to Qt5 about two years ago.
Compiling and running with Qt5 was not the big issue, but getting
Bluetooh working again — and hence core functionality:
https://github.com/amora/amora/issues/86#issuecomment-432001824

Another point is that the main client platform are Nokia Symbian
phones — which are nearly nowhere in use anymore. I still do have such
a phone, but for years the only reason to power it on was to test
amora before uploading. Haven't powered it on since the last upload...

There's IIRC code for a Qt client (Qt 4 I assume, maybe even older)
which AFAIK never was published in any app store though. If I remember
correctly I once got it running on my OpenMoko (i.e. ages ago). Or was
it on the Nokia N900? Can't remeber anymore...

We still can bring it back when the Qt5 port is working properly and
there's a client for modern mobile phones (even if only for less
popular OS like KaiOS/GerdaOS or SailfishOS).

                Regards, Axel
