Description of problem: Can calibre be branched for EPEL7? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Well, several issues: 1. There's a number of packages it needs missing in epel7: DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for libinput-devel DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for python-apsw DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for python-cssutils >= 0.9.9 DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for python-mechanize DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for python-qt5 DEBUG util.py:377: Error: No Package found for python-qt5-devel The big one here is python-qt5... it's pretty rapidly changing so I don't know if the maintainer(s) would be wanting it in epel7. 2. calibre has weekly releases, so it changes all the time, which isn't a very good fit for epel that stresses stable and not wanting to change things. I guess I'm somewhat open to the idea if the python-qt5 (and other needed packages) are added.
Adding Rex for comment.
I've filed the relevant branch requests and linked them into this report. On your second concern, I'd be fine with versions updating with RHEL7 itself (2x per year) or more frequently if there is an important fix. Mostly I'd just like a nice epub reader for my EL7 systems.
Per commetn #2, PyQt5 (needed by calibre) requires a newer sip than what rhel7 currently provides. So, not possible at the moment.
ok, so lets defer this and when/if sip updates (possibly in rhel 7.2?) we can reopen...
