It was necessary due to some internal reorganisation. The new location is now the official devel project.

Have fun! 🙂

]]> Checking EPUBs https://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/03/checking-epubs/ https://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/03/checking-epubs/#comments Sun, 03 Oct 2010 11:42:18 +0000 http://lizards.opensuse.org/?p=5382 EPUBs are getting more and more important thesedays. If you believe the essays from well-informed magazines, they will develop into a standard for book and text consumption as MP3 did for audio.

Today, lots of e-book readers are available and more will be ready in the future. Apart from the problem, if an e-book reader supports EPUB, the EPUB file itself has to adhere to certain specifications. This is the task for epubcheck, a commandline utility which validates an EPUB file.

The RPM package can be found in my OBS repository home:thomas-schraitle as usual. To use it, just run epubcheck with your EPUB file and see what it finds.

Have fun!
