Well i dont use it but it builds & packages fine, and generally looks
good. Im just not 100% sure about the dependency moving from
poppler,,-qt4 to poppler,-qt5 (iirc there's a reason for the ,, - ie no
flavor ? any flavor ?)

You set -DTeXworks_MAN_DIR=man in CONFIGURE_ARGS but later patch it out
in patches/patch-src_CMakeLists_txt, is that intended ?

other than that, if it works for you, okay.
