Seems to build and run fine for me, though I did not perform
extended testing.
Three comments. First, the licence file doesn't say GPL2+, it
says the following:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation;
either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
version 3.
So it's *either* GPL2 or GPL3. GPL4 (if/when it comes out) would
not be an option like it would for the licences that say "any
later version" as is usually the case, which is how the template
at https://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html is written.
The second comment is that the binaries are not being stripped.
The stripped versions in the following directory were created
manually by myself, after it had finished building.
% ls -lah
total 494376
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512B Aug 23 14:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512B Aug 23 14:41 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 108M Aug 23 13:02 quassel
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6.5M Aug 23 14:45 quassel.stripped
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 85.9M Aug 23 13:03 quasselclient
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5.1M Aug 23 14:50 quasselclient.stripped
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32.8M Aug 23 13:03 quasselcore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3.3M Aug 23 14:50 quasselcore.stripped
So the total install size would decrease from about 226 MB to about
15 MB if the binaries were stripped. This is probably something
worth doing.
Third, "make port-lib-depends-check" says that WANTLIB should
should have the following added to it:
WANTLIB += QtScript QtSql QtXmlPatterns c m phonon pthread z
Other than that, it looks okay to me, but a more experienced
porter would probably be able to provide better feedback.
