Two new Packages for openSUSE [kpassgen, calibre]

The last days i was a little bit busy. I worked on the moving og my Packages fro KDE:KDE4:Community to KDE:Extra. So i left my Packaagers chair for some little non needed Progs.

But now i’m finished.

The first Candidate is kpassgen.

KPassgen is worked by Michael Daffin (james1479@googlemail.com). After a year of abscinence in kpassgen he gives us the brandnew Version 1.0.

What he has done since the last publishing? Michael says:

4 September 2010, Version 1.0:
– Rewrote almost everything 🙂
– New UI, cleaner/simpler and better organised
– Added a Unique Characters Only option
– Added a Ambiguous Option

As expected i’ve created Packages for openSUSE: For that you just need to add KDE:Extra (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/) into your Repository Manager. After that you can just type "kpassgen" and then you reached your goal.

The second Candidate is calibre

I like calibre since many Versions. A very good Book Reader & Manager.The both Calibre Package Maintainer have recieved the information about a new release of Calibre to Version 0.7.17. But what happened since the other Release?

The Developer Kovid Goyal gives us a first intro.

– New Features

o Content server: Show custom column data in the book listing

o Add preference to automatically set a tag when adding books (Preferences->General)

o Add a tweak to create compound search terms. Show error message in tooltip when user inputs an invalid search query.

o Managing multiple libraries: Allow renaming/deleting libraries from the Choose library menu

o Searching on series index is now possible. See the User Manual for details.

– Bug Fixes

o Fix regression in 0.7.16 that broke conversion of HTML files with preprocess turned on

o MOBI Output: When converting an input document that specifies an inline TOC in the but not in the , add it correctly. Fixes #6661 (Conversion to MOBI fails to create TOC)

o JetBook driver: Only use JetBook naming scheme for txt, pdf and fb2 files.

o Copy to library action now respects merge preferences

o Fix bug in email sending when using an SSL connection

o Kobo driver: Fix bug that prevented metadata caching from working correctly

o Fix regression in 0.7.16 that caused calibre to forget its preferences on each restart for new installs on linux

For all who like to test the new Version, just add http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/thomas-schraitle:/calibre/ as your Software Repository. So you should find after installing a Program like calibre. Then just enjoy it 🙂
