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

  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.
