Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs
Summary: Backport request Calibre => [Update Request] calibre - new version to support latest plugins and new tablets/phones/ebooks
Source RPM: calibre => calibre-0.9.1-1.mga2

One problem I've noticed, which is still present with this one is that Fetching news errors with..

ERROR: Cannot download news as no internet connection is active

I thought python-netifaces might fix this but it doesn't appear to.

If news is scheduled then the error occurs by itself a few minutes after starting calibre.

Works ok on Mageia 2 x86_64. I tested the old and new version with the procedure.

CC: (none) => ed_rus099
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA2-64-OK

No problems on Mageia 2 i586.

Whiteboard: MGA2-64-OK => MGA2-64-OK MGA2-32-OK

I removed 0.9.1.
I pushed 0.8.69 because 0.9.1 needs highest libmtp/libusb to work.
0.9.1 + Mageia 2 can't work and gives a lot of errors in terminal (libmtp/libusb errors).

I can reproduce but can't find how to fix this (not a regression).
No more available in Cauldron. Must be a networkmanager (cf google) or a python issue.

- Just try that the new calibre still work and that you can connect your
devices to upload files.

I don't have any devices, so I can't test it.

If you have a smartphone, you can simply use it.

I don't have one. In fact I don't have a mobile phone. :)

Stefano, as you requested the update, could you test the update candidate (from Core Updates Testing) and report here if it works well?

To load the epubmerge plugin you have to go Preferences => Plugins => Get New Plugins => Select EpubMerge and click Install.

Tested ok with a sony ebook reader.
