Subject: please backport to jessie

Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:24:40 -0400

Package: calibre
Version: 2.19.0+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

The calibre version in jessie is getting old, and is having some
trouble supporting the latest e-readers out there.

For example, the latest versions of the Kobo Aura and Kobo Aura H20
yield a warning in Calibre 2.19. This seems to be the case as well in
2.48, so that affects sid as well - but this is fixed in upstream
2.49.

So incidentally, it would be great if calibre is updated to the latest
upstream as well for stretch/sid!

https://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new

The latest is 2.53, from 4 days ago (!?), but the latest driver
updates date from 2.50.1 (january 29th).

Yet my biggest problem is that the latest Kobo Glo doesn't get
detected at all in 2.19. In 2.48, it works, but also with some
warning.

I have been able to build a backport of 2.48 in a clean jessie chroot
without modifications, so maintaining such a backport should be fairly
easy. I'd be happy to help with that if necessary, but it is usually
better if the current maintainer keeps track of those backports, of
course. :)

Hi Miriam,

I will probably complete this backport by next week if no one else
tackles this.

Let me know if you need help or if i should refrain. :)

Cheers,

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Control: retitle -1 jessie backport out of date
Control: found -1 2.55.0+dfsg-1~bpo8+1

Small update: I actually went ahead with the backport, just to scratch
an itch. Now of course new versions came in and a new backport is
probably necessary, if only to fix what seems to be a security issue
fixed in 2.75:

    E-book viewer: Prevent javascript in the book from accessing files
    on the computer using XMLHttpRequest. 

Why this would not be more publicly documented is just beyond me.

The BTS does not deal with backports, please report this to backport
maintainers. The current versions in Debian/stable are rather new,
and unstable/testing contains the latest version.

Closing this bug.
