That is great news! We (in Debian) like to have a verified chain for the
source... I will enable this in my packaging.

I run into the first problem, concerning Python support:

During the cmake run, I get the following:

[...]
-- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python3 (found suitable version "3.5.4", minimum required is "3") 
-- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python3 (found suitable version "3.5.4", minimum required is "2") 
-- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so (found version "2.7.13+") 
[...]
-- WARNING: ENABLE_python is OFF so setting ENABLE_pyqt4 to OFF.
[...]
ENABLE_python:          OFF
ENABLE_qt:              ON
ENABLE_pyqt4:           OFF

and consequently the pyqt4 bindings are not created. Explicitly using
-DENABLE_python does not help.

Any idea what to do?

Best regards

Ole
