Calibre [Package Request] #6583

Open Strife89 opened 3 years ago

Strife89 commented 3 years ago

Package description

Calibre is a GUI and CLI ebook manager. It is open source and cross-platform, with a lot of community support. The GUI is extensible by way of plugins. It is licensed under the GPL v3.

  1. Home page: https://calibre-ebook.com
  2. Source code: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre

Additional information Have you compiled or tried to compile the package on device? -- I have not. Reason for request To my knowledge, there is no software in Termux suitable for any kind of ebook management, including conversion functionality; I also am not aware of any Android programs which can fill this void (certainly not any that are FOSS). Perhaps not everyone will see the use for having this on a mobile device, but being able to convert, say, a DRM-free epub into a MOBI or similar format for importing into (say) Amazon Kindle may be a convenience for some users. It's something I'd like to be able to do. Risks and Challenges Calibre does not seem to have separate GUI and CLI versions, so this package may involve many dependencies and may consume a lot of disk space. I would certainly understand a reluctance to add it to the Termux repos.

Thank you for your time.

Depends on qt5-qtwebengine (#10070), among other things.

With #10070 completed what other requirements are there?
