libgourou is a free implementation of Adobe's ADEPT protocol used to
add DRM on ePub/PDF files. It overcomes the lack of Adobe support for
Linux platforms.

Architecture
------------

Main functions to use from gourou::DRMProcessor are:
  * Get an ePub from an ACSM file : _fulfill()_ and _download()_
  * Create a new device : _createDRMProcessor()_
  * Register a new device : _signIn()_ and _activateDevice()_
  * Remove DRM : _removeDRM()_
  * Return loaned book : _returnLoan()_

You can import configuration from (at least):
  * Kobo device: .adept/device.xml, .adept/devicesalt and
    .adept/activation.xml
  * Bookeen device: .adobe-digital-editions/device.xml, root/devkey.bin
    and .adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml

Or create a new one. Be careful: there is a limited number of devices
that can be created by one account.

ePub are encrypted using a shared key: one account / multiple devices,
so you can create and register a device into your computer and read
downloaded (and encrypted) ePub file with your eReader configured using
the same AdobeID account.

For those who want to remove DRM without adept_remove, you can export
your private key and import it within Calibre an its DeDRM plugin.

Utils
-----

You can optionaly specify your .adept directory
    export ADEPT_DIR=/home/XXX

Then, use utils as following:

You can import configuration from your eReader or create a new one with
adept_activate:
    ./utils/adept_activate -u <AdobeID USERNAME>

Then a /home/<user>/.config/adept directory is created with all
configuration file

To download an ePub/PDF:
    acsmdownloader <ACSM_FILE>

To export your private key (for DeDRM software):
    acsmdownloader --export-private-key [-o adobekey_1.der]

To remove ADEPT DRM:
    adept_remove <encryptedFile>

To list loaned books:
    adept_loan_mgt [-l]

To return a loaned book:
    adept_loan_mgt -r <id>

You can get utils full options description with -h or --help switch

PLEASE NOTE

This SlackBuild uses a maintainer generated tarball for libgourou's
dependency on uPDFParser. The tarball can be regenerated locally by
removing uPDFParser-*.tar.lz and running the inclued get-uPDFParser.sh
script which will download the dependency and bundle it. Then the
ligourou.SlackBuild can be run normally.

This requires: pugixml
