Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libkiwix Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Emmanuel Engelhart <kel...@kiwix.org>, Matthieu Gautier <mgaut...@kymeria.fr> * URL : https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-lib * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) underlying library.
The Kiwix library provides high level functions (bookmarking, fulltext search engine, content management, content reading) to enjoy ZIM files (http://www.openzim.org). To do that, the Kiwix library relies on many third part libraries which are - all - allready packaged in Debian. This package is a pre-requisite to the packaging of kiwix-tools (with Kiwix HTTP server kiwix-serve) and Kiwix(-desktop) which already has been asked for here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763321. In general the -dev version of libkiwix will allow any developer to easily write a software to read ZIM flies (http://www.openzim.org/). Debian developer Vasudev/Copyninja (uid=vasudev,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org) has already volunteered to work on this RFP. One time implemented this package should IMO be maintained within the DebianEdu team. -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication
