The problem with your repository is, that you are linking to some bleeding edge stuff which when one must install them to get calibre running will break other things. The libqt4 you are using is from KDE:Qt46. You better use the one from KDE:Qt or KDE:KDE4:Factory and you are much closer to openSUSE:Factory and therefore to the upcoming openSUSE 11.3. Or even better buold dircetly on top of one these Repositories instead of linking single packages.
The libqt4 in KDE:Qt is version 4.5 only, however Calibre needs >=4.6.0. I used the recommendations in the dependencies list from http://calibre- ebook.com/download_linux I haven't found KDE:KDE4:Factory, I only see KDE:KDE4:Community, KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, KDE:KDE4:Playground, KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop, and KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop. Which repository do you mean?

Maybe we shall join forces here and push the packages and the dependencies into Factory or at least into the Contrib repository.
It's a good idea, but I don't think the package is ready for Factory. For example, it installs language specific files under /usr/share/calibre/localization/locales/LANG instead of /usr/share/locale/LANG/ which creates a huge list of warnings. I would like to create a consistent package. Unfortunately, finding the relevant spots takes time...
These problems must be fixed before submitting it anywhere. It's too late for Factory anyway, because no new packges will be accepted since last milestone.
Yes, that's true. This and my job as writer was the reason why I didn't submit it to Factory yet.
Be we can get it into the Contrib repository, what will make many users happy
:-)
It's always nice to make users happy. :)
Would you like to improve the package? Send your submitrequest to home:thomas- schraitle:calibre, I'm happy to integrate it. :)
I will do that when neccessary. But to get into the Contrib repository or later into Factory, we have to solve some issues not related to this single package, but on a higher level, the whole project.
Sure, no problem.
