Bug#856595: RFP: kiwix-tools -- Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) command line tools
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: kiwix-tools Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Emmanuel Engelhart , Matthieu Gautier * URL : https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) command line tools The Kiwix tools provides command line tools to deal with ZIM files. It contains in particular the kiwix-serve software which is a HTTP aware daemon able to serve ZIM files. To do that, the Kiwix tools rely on the Kiwix library for which a RFP has already been done earlier today: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856552 This package can also been seen a "cheap alternative" to the Kiwix(-desktop) package which hopefully will be released too later this year: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763321. 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 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#856552: RFP: libkiwix -- Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) underlying library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libkiwix Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Emmanuel Engelhart , Matthieu Gautier * 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

It shouldn't depend on xulrunner, and adding it back into debian would mean that there would be at least one reader for ZIM files, which is currently lacking. .. _kiwix-serve: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve Definitely a good idea! I support it to 100%. I'm ready to answer to questions and help any volunteer maintainer wanting to work on this. This should not be too complicated and the impact would be huge. -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline & more * Web: http://www.kiwix.org * Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline * more: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Communication
