Calibre is meant to be a complete e-library solution and thus includes
library management, format conversion, news feeds to ebook conversion,
as well as e-book reader sync features and an integrated e-book viewer.
To talk to USB and MTP devices the user needs to be able to access
the device node in /dev.
to be aware of USB devices attached to the machine, the user needs
to be a member of the operator group:
# pw groupmod operator -m yourusername
Then, add the following to /etc/devfs.rules, or create this file
if it does not exist yet:
[system=10]
add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator
To load these new rules, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
Then, restart devfs
# service devfs restart

If you are using an Android device as your e-book reader, please note
that the stock Google Books app uses a storage format that is not
supported by calibre. The calibre FAQ recommends that either of the
free apps Aldiko or WordPlayer are used instead.

A basic startup script for calibre-server has been installed.
It can be customized and configured using the flags described in
the headers of the startup script. The calibre_user and calibre_library
variables need to be configured to point to a library and the user
with write access to it. For example the user you usually run calibre
on the desktop as.
The command line options are documented here:

deskutils/calibre: Update version 1.44.0 => 1.45.0 plus clean-up
The PR as provided did not pass stage checks. Not only were there new
installed files not represented in the pkg-plist, but patching the html
files caused the .orig versions to be installed too. That required
a post-patch target to remove as well as the updated pkg-plist.
A long standing issue that was non-fatal on FreeBSD but fatal on DragonFly
involved the use of the calibre RC script. The calibre.in template is
filled in at ${WRKDIR}/calibre, the same exact location for the default
configure directory. FreeBSD handled that problem like this:
"No write acces [sic] to /work/a/ports/deskutils/calibre/work/calibre
using a temporary dir instead"
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Update to 1.44.0
- rc script fixes and variable to run the server from home directorry.

Update to 6.8.9-3 [1][3].
Use USES=compiler:openmp for the OPENMP option[2]
Ditch the use of perl for patching etc [4] and silence perl threaded check [6]
-delay option spurious message should be fixed [5]
JASPER option was replace by JPEG2000 for JP2k support.
Put 16BIT_PIXEL and HDRI option separate option block. These options change
the library name, so the user needs to take this into consideration.
Use new LIB_DEPENDS syntax.
Use @sample for config files.
Sprinkle some USES=pkgconfig for some ports, since we don't pull it in
anymore at run-time.

- Update to 0.7.22. With this update the USB functionality should still
continue to work, but device enumeration now requires root privileges.
Also mountpoint detection and automounting doesn't work.

The KDE FreeBSD team is proud to announce the release of SIP-4.10 and
PyQt-4.7 for FreeBSD. The official update notes can be found at
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com
We'd like to say thanks to all helpers, testers and submitters.
- Add additional mirrors. It seems that old distfiles get vanished from
google mirrors by the time of new release.
