What is this package?
This is a package that contains modified EB Library in which it can handle books that comply with the JIS X 4081 UTF-8 extension
How is this different from eb-library?
-
It supports UTF-8 extension in addition to EUC-JP, the original eb-library can only deal with EUC-JP.
-
It can optionally compress books/files using DEFLATE method, as opposed to eb-library's zlib method. By compiling with
--enable-libdeflateduring./configure, you can enable such method and potentially create smaller overall compressed file as opposed to using zlib compression. -
It is compatible with
eb-library. However it is difficult to link both at the same time from the same program, because of conflicting function names for instance. Except for UTF-8 support, it works in the same way as eb-library, so it is usually not necessary to link both at the same time. Ultimately, the names of respective programs has been renamed accordingly to avoid conflicts. -
It has support for colour swatches on Kojien dictionary.
-
It is a modernised equivalent to the abandoned eb-library, which has not seen updates/changes by the original project maintainer for a long time. It also has fixes applied that were reported on Debian's bug report, including this one.
