I talked about this in Akademy to a few of you already but mentioning it here
in case someone has comments/objections.
We use ebook-tools in both kfilemetadata and okular.
Looking at archlinux dependencies we are the only people using ebook-tools.
ebook-tools is unmaintained since more than a decade.
ebook-tools is very crashing as found by oss-fuzz.
For all the reasons above I have forked ebook-tools at
https://invent.kde.org/aacid/ebook-tools
I will be asking for it to move into a non-user-namespace (graphics?
libraries?) on Wednesday 11 and make a new release (keeping the same name)
soon after that.
Cheers,
Albert
