Ouch, it looks like the problems in building calibre is that the current versions anyway use some python syntax specific to python 2.7 and newer.
Yep. calibre is pretty bleeding edge sadly.
What version that started with I do not know, but python >= 2.7 should probably be added to the rpm spec file and I guess I am going to have to look for older src.rpm's to try and rebuild for my own use.
It really frustrates me how many FOSS projects don't have the top down management necessary to demand their code work in still quite common versions of scripting languages used in supported business environments.
Ah well. I guess calibre for EPEL6 is probably out.
Yep. I would be happy to build it, but it's just too fast moving. It also releases every week. It also changes GUI/Interface as the author likes. It's not something that would fit well in a 'support for 7 years' repo. :(
I'd actually prefer to see an epub reader that builds on gtk-webkit anyway.
Don't know of one off hand, but good luck
