Target Milestone:
--- =>
Mageia 1 I notice Mdv has this, so this is a missing package that should be put into updates, changing priority back to normal CC:

maarten.vanraes Setting version to cauldron to improve the chance that someone will package it. When it is in cauldron, it'll be in the next stable release. CC:

marja11 Hi, I support the request of Bibus as it is a very useful thing. For those who need it - you may try Referencer instead (from Mageia 1 repos) - it is for Gnome, and still can do the job. CC:
(none) =>
schlecht BTW, the Mandriva 2010.1 package with Bibus 1.5.1 seems to work fine on my Mageia 1 x86_64. In menus it still has an "OpenOffice" label, but it works with LibreOffice 3.4. When installed, it complained about bad signature, but I just ignored it.

bibus, bibliographic database manager for scientific writing with Openoffice OR Libreoffice integration Would still be nice to have bibus on Mageia Have updated the request for Mageia 6 Target Milestone:
Mageia 1 =>
Mageia 6 (In reply to w unruh from comment #5) > Would still be nice to have bibus on Mageia Have updated the request for > Mageia 6 Did we ever tell you that it is possible to become a Mageia packager, and then (import and) maintain only one package? Anyway, assigning this requests to all packagers collectively. (Removing Mdv from the whiteboard, because it is no longer relevant: we only supported upgrading from Mdv2010.x to Mga1) Whiteboard:
Mdv =>
(none) I tried to package this once. But it is a dead project since 2013 and it doesn't work with libreoffice 4 and later. So, it is a won't fix fro me CC:

So, it is a won't fix fro me Ouch! I wasn't aware, but indeed http://sourceforge.net/p/bibus-biblio/bugs/308/ and https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/30914/getting-bibus-software-working-with-libreoffice-41/ I understand Bibus should be ported to python 3, but no one upstream seems to be working on it. Closing as WONTFIX :-( Feel free to reopen if upstream magically revives and fixes their bug 308 Status:
NEW =>
RESOLVED a) Bibus does not seem to work with Libreoffice 4 I agree. b) However Bibus does still work. At first I used the ancient version (1.5.1-3?) from Mandriva 2011 on Mageia 5. However it has some annoying bugs. I then tried Bibus 1.5.1-14 from Fedora fc23 and it runs (with python 3 on MGA5) It still has the openoffice choice greyed out, but I have just done a very cursory test with it. Will try it in more detail soon. But it is not a lost cause. One can always cut and paste from the bibus output into Libreoffice even if it is not automatic. It seems that giving up may be a bit premature, so I am reopening. If you all really consider it a lost cause, I guess it can be reclosed. Resolution:
WONTFIX =>
(none) Hi The major problem with Bibus is that the developer has disappeared and there have been no updates in over 30 months. I did modify the source to use python3 and it does run as a stand alone programme. However the connection to libreoffice > 4.0 is unlikely to happen as libreoffice has made significant changes and Bibus cannot connect any more. If you check the link mentioned in comment #8 (http://sourceforge.net/p/bibus-biblio/bugs/308/) the developer was asked directly about the issues but there was no response. So essentially we at Mageia cannot do anything about Bibus compatibility and interactions with other software so I will re-close this bug report. You would best contact the Bibus forum an hope some else takes over the project. Nic CC:
