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 <kelson@kiwix.org>, Matthieu
Gautier <mgautier@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.
