Created attachment 14657 [details] spec patch to version 3.2.59 Mageia's current version of "coolreader3", an e-book reader application, is quite old, over 5 years old, and it at least should be upgraded to the latest available version. Attached is a spec file patch for the last released version(3.2.59). Unfortunately, the latest release of "coolreader3" is more than 3 years old, while the git repository seems to be stale for almost 2 years. Anyhow, "coolreader3" could be replaced with a fork of itself (https://gitlab.com/coolreader-ng/), which is maintained by one of the contributors/authors of the original "coolreader" project. "coolreader-ng" project is split into a main e-book library, "crengine-ng", and two frontends, one based on Qt5/6 (crqt-ng) and the other on wxWidgets (crwx-ng). There is not much difference between the old "coolreader3" and this one, but active maintenance is a big plus. Here is a link to spec files to import "crengine-ng" into Mageia: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tvZTg4MNdU6nrotr27qAhNrc1ufYZkro?usp=sharing Regards.
Thank you for this well furnished report. It seems reasonable to update M9 with the last released version(3.2.59) despite it being 3y old and inactive. Assigning this globally, no one packager in view for this application.

Cool Reader is my ebook reader of choice on my Android tablet, but I never use it on my Mageia computers. I knew the Android Cool Reader was rather old, but it still works well. Nevertheless, I should probably look for the fork there, too. Validating.
