I think calibre still doesn't have an uninstall procedure; that's one thing I don't like -- even though I'm using the same version, installed and repeatedly updated via the above command. openSUSE's rpm version can be uninstalled, of course, but from time to time it didn't work. There were bug reports, it got fixed, and some time later the same thing happened, and I ended up using it directly from the calibre website. Hasn't given me any problems yet, so there was no reason to uninstall manually and switch back to openSUSE rpm.s. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Uninstall is simply erasing the install directory, because its all Python.

Actually, it puts at least links & man pages into different places than it's install directory: ---------- phani:/opt/calibre # whereis calibre calibre: /usr/bin/calibre /usr/bin/X11/calibre /usr/share/calibre /opt/calibre/bin/calibre ---------- There used to be an install log somewhere, but I can't find it right now. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello, today I read Sascha's blog about dropping of Calibre from repositories. http://tinyurl.com/3cx3m6x Bad news. Well, this is very good piece of software and I'd like to use it in the future... I know I can just keep it installed, but will there be any way how to install it in openSUSE? Might be in the future? Or is there any similar software to manage e-books? Have a nice day,

If you visit the Calibre download page http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

You will see that keeping up to date on calibre is as simple as one command.

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

And it requires python 2.7.1 which is not in openSUSE 11.4...

That is one long line, email may cause it to wrap. I've always installed it that way and it has always worked.

The software is a true work of art and a necessary tool for anyone having an ebook reader of any type.
