Yes, the same patch is probably required. You can attach your patch to
the ticket on Launchpad.

OK.

Avoid installing DEB packages that are dedicated to another Ubuntu
version.

The sources themselves should be safe to build on any platform. The
only problem with sources are build problems because of new compilers,
new linker, and new autotools/libtool tools.

On 64-bit systems, you may have additional problems during compilation
because of pointers changing size. You might also encounter some
problems at runtime, so do not forget to run the tests on OpenSAND.

On non-Ubuntu systems, you may encounter problems with versions of
dependencies (if they are not the same) and/or with locations of files
(if they use different locations).

Regards,
Didier
