Control: retitle -1 RFP: cr3 -- Cool Reader 3, an e-book reader Hi,
I'm using this software from a local build and I'd like to add it to Debian. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'll be able to finish this until Buster release (as I have many bugs to solve on bash-completion and I want to focus on them). So, if anyone has more time and would like to work on the package, let's talk and I will be happy to "transfer" the ITP.

Yes, there are some files for debian packaging, but I plan to go through all the files, specially for the sake of copyright info. > https://f-droid.org/packages/org.coolreader/ lists version 3.1.2 from > 2015 as the newest version. > > Nevertheless the last commit in the git repository as of now is from > January 2017: > https://sourceforge.net/p/crengine/crengine/commit_browser > > So there still seem to be a little bit of activity.

That and the fact that it probes the system for some libraries and tools, and when it doesn't find them, it builds them. I still don't know where it gets their source-code from (apparently not from the internet), but I will check what's going on. Thanks for the heads-up(s), Axel.
