Ouch, it looks like the problems in building calibre is that the
current versions anyway use some python syntax specific to python 2.7
and newer.
Yep. calibre is pretty bleeding edge sadly.
What version that started with I do not know, but python >= 2.7
should
probably be added to the rpm spec file and I guess I am going to have
to look for older src.rpm's to try and rebuild for my own use.
It really frustrates me how many FOSS projects don't have the top down
management necessary to demand their code work in still quite common
versions of scripting languages used in supported business
environments.
Ah well. I guess calibre for EPEL6 is probably out.
Yep. I would be happy to build it, but it's just too fast moving.
It also releases every week.
It also changes GUI/Interface as the author likes.
It's not something that would fit well in a 'support for 7 years' repo.
:(
I'd actually prefer to see an epub reader that builds on
gtk-webkit
anyway.
Don't know of one off hand, but good luck
