An improved patching system for Kobo eReaders. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297338 . Download patches for v4.9.11311+ here.
Progress:
- Core patching functionality (./patchlib)
- Drop-in replacement for patch32lsb with exactly the same output and features (./patch32lsb)
- All-in-one patcher (base features) (./kobopatch)
- All-in-one patcher (./kobopatch)
- kobopatch: support new format
- kobopatch: support old format
- kobopatch: pluggable format system
- Automatic builds
- Alternative patch format (which has more reliable and has less complex parsing)
- Manually check hashes of output from both batch formats with each other and the old patcher with all patches enabled to ensure reliability
- Patch overrides to force enable/disable patches in a portable way.
- Patch consistency check
- Convert old patch zips
- Translation file support
- Zlib support
- CSS extraction tool (./cssextract)
- Support for adding additional files
Improvements/Goals:
- More readable code
- Unit tests
- Built-in support for generating kobo update files
- More modular
- Embeddable into another application
- Single file
- Better consistency checking of config and result
- Easier cross-platform build support without external deps
- Optional improved patch format
- Faster and lower memory consumption
- No need for temp files
- Save and restore lists of enabled patches
- Translation file support
- more (coming soon)
- Zlib support (coming soon)
