Hi Johannes,

Yes, that's the way to go. You should explain in the FPC ticket what
(incompatible) changes have been made to qcodeedit and why it's not possible to
integrate them in the regular release.

You should not modify the functionality and/or the API of the original library
because this will cause problems to potential future packages that depend on
the original sources. Alternatively, the developers of TeXstudio could think of
a fork and release their modified qcodeedit separately. But as stated in the 
forum post, that obviously isn't an option.


> I'm quite sorry for the probably useless review of qcodeedit.

Not a problem at all. The package might nonetheless be useful to Fedora
users/developers.
