Topic : tomboy-ng not working on ppc64el

Frédéric, I have now done some testing using a more recent version of
qemu and results are somewhat mixed.  My plan was to install the Debian
versions of FPC and Lazarus, build my app and run it under the IDE
debugger. However, I encountered several problems long before I un-tared
my source.  Now, I am a new qemu user and have not worked on POWER for a
very long time, but I believe I found first a Lazarus packaging problem,
then I built Lazarus from source (my prefered model) and found more
issues that relate, I think, to LCL, particularly under Qt5.  So, in my
very uneducated opinion, Lazarus is not yet ready for ppc64el and as its
not on the Lazarus's supported list, they won't be very interested in
finding out why that is.  They would definitely accept patches but a bug
report with no solution will not attract a lot of attention.

I suggest its not really a very good idea to list Lazarus as a supported
Debian package on ppc64el. FPC is fine, but not Lazarus. Just my opinion.

Given the Debian Testing feature freeze, is there scope to address the
Lazarus problems I have found ?
