Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : gutenbrowser Version : 0.7.43 Upstream Author : Lorn Potter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gutenbrowser * License : GPL Description : Project Gutenberg Etext reader
gutenbrowser is a reader for etexts produced by Project Gutenberg. It integrates with KDE. You only need the libraries to run it though. . Project Gutenberg (http://promo.net/pg/index.html) aims to make public domain literature available to the world in ASCII text format. I believe it is important to make the texts of the Gutenberg project easily available, and that this package is the best way to do this in Debian. The package used to be part of Debian, but was orphaned in bug #214931 and removed in bug #221361. The reason was the inactivity of the upstream developer. As far as I can tell, the last activity in the sourceforge CVS was 2003-11-21, when the source for the Zaurus PDA was updated. Because of this, I intend to restore this package in Debian. CC to the upstream author, to make him aware of my plans.
