Unfortunately, we missed the deadline for buster already. But your help
would be appreciated!

We need to figure out a resolution to
, as you found. I think
that was the main blocker.

I pushed my packaging work to
, there are probably some
lintian warnings, etc. that need to be cleaned up.

Once we have something working and Buster is released, we can definitely
aim to get kiwix-tools into buster-backports.

It looks like all the dependencies are now in Buster, thanks to Kunal. It
would be a shame to have it all, except for the actual user-facing app that
uses it...

Is there any chance that this package might make it into Buster? Is there
any assistance I could provide to accelerate the process?

Bug#856595: RFP: kiwix-tools -- Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) command line tools

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: kiwix-tools
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Emmanuel Engelhart , Matthieu
Gautier 
* URL : https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : Kiwix (http://www.kiwix.org) command line tools

The Kiwix tools provides command line tools to deal with ZIM files. It
contains in particular the kiwix-serve software which is a HTTP aware
daemon able to serve ZIM files.

To do that, the Kiwix tools rely on the Kiwix library for which a RFP
has already been done earlier today:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856552

This package can also been seen a "cheap alternative" to the
Kiwix(-desktop) package which hopefully will be released too later this
year:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763321.

Debian developer Vasudev/Copyninja
(uid=vasudev,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org) has already volunteered to
work on this RFP. One time implemented this package should IMO be
maintained within the DebianEdu team.
