Hello,

I have put this together. It doesn't crash anymore and relies on
qtwebengine, but some parts of it (e.g., interactive activities) are not
working properly. Not sure if that's related, but I see messages like

  QIODevice::read
  (QFile,"/gnu/store/…-openboard-1.7.0-a0255/share/openboard/library/interactivities/Dice.wgt"):device
  not open

on stderr.

Anyway, I attach the new package definition.

Regards,
