This was just to test since I have been hitting some build issues with 
the earlier versions which seem fixed in svn, however now I have found 
this list I'm sure those can be resolved and I will continue with a 
stable version for the distro package.

I need to look at the archives then as I only registered last night ;)

I had never heard of 'asciidoctor' until I hit this, and on Googling I 
found an asciidoctor site which seemed to mix 'asciidoc' and 
'asciidoctor' arbitrarily in the text, so I assumed (bad I know) that 
they were one and the same.
Mageia does not package asciidoctor yet, so I will look into that before 
1.7 is released.

OK, that's great.

Regarding Hamlib, I would rather avoid any bundled software that is 
available in the distro (it's also policy). I have been testing wsjtx 
with our packaged hamlib and not had any problems that I am aware of, it 
seems fine handling CAT with my TS-450S.
I have tested in both Mageia 5 (hamlib-1.2.15.3) and Mageia 
6(dev)(hamlib-3.0).
What is the difference between your fork of hamlib (which I also tested) 
and upstream hamlib? If there are major differences, and we were to 
patch upstream with your changes, are they likely to adversely affect 
other softwares that use hamlib?
