Hi all, I checked Calibre in Groovy (version 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1) and it works fine. As per bug report #1898904 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/1898904/comments/7), Calibre >=4.15 has the required patch. So, instead of waiting for 5.2, can we backport current Groovy version of Calibre to Focal?
Regards, Sai ==== Unfortunately, Calibre 5.x requires SIP 5 and PyQt5 that is built against SIP 5. Moving PyQt5 to the new SIP is a major transition, that happened in Debian recently (two weeks ago) and did not happen in Ubuntu yet because of freeze. This requires changes in many packages simultaneously: at least pyqt5, pyqt5charts, pyqt5webengine, qscintilla2, calibre, python-poppler-qt5, veusz, krita and qgis. I am planning to land this change early in Groovy+1 cycle. > Is the above (update to 5.2.0) possible in Ubuntu Focal, and if yes, > what kind if steps are necessary? So for Focal and Groovy we need a version of Calibre that still uses SIP 4. Last such version in Debian was 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1, Groovy already has that. If you know some specific fixes, maybe they can be applied on top of what Focal or Groovy has. -- Dmitry Shachnev -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
