here are things that could be done:

    * update official repo for 1.5.1, rebase all patches
      -> just saw, that that is already done
    * Port your [1] 0002-Rewrite-libs.pri.patch to the official repo
      (esp. the libquazip part, so that the project builds against
      stretch _and_ unstable). Maybe only port it partially.
    * Use "if POPPLER_VERSION_MAJOR > 0 || POPPLER_VERSION_MINOR >= 55" logic
      as found in your 0003-Use-libpoppler-instead-of-raw-xpdf.patch
      in the poppler patch and drop the version detection logic from
      OpenBoard.pro
    * Why did you drop QtSingleApplication [3]? I think it is useful.
    * Make the .pro file install files correctly on Linux [4]. I handled
      the installation targets via debhelper out of laziness. Your approach
      is cleaner + reusable upstream.
    * Why do you remove the linking against audio codecs? [5]
    * Port the resources location patch [6].
    * Test and add patch for pencil colors being shown correctly [7]

I have on my list to contact the upstream maintainers of OpenBoard on  
some other channel than Github. It is a bit frustrating seeing the Git  
repo updated and new releases coming out without reaction to any of  
the bug reports.

Thanks for chiming in on this!!!

Merry X-mas and looking forward to this cooperation.

Mike
