Its package-manager niche is not an end-user converter as much as a compatibility library for software that needed to import legacy .doc files. ### Projektgeschichte The wvWare project began as mswordview and was renamed after the maintainers judged the original name too close to Microsoft's Word Viewer. The wv project supplied code for reading Word 6, 95, 97, and 2000 formats, and its site records use by AbiWord and influence on KWord's importer. wv2 appeared as the intended second-generation library. A Debian intent-to-package notice for wv2 0.0.9 described it as a library for accessing Microsoft Word documents and as an eventual replacement for the wv library, with upstream authors from the AbiWord and KDE/KWord orbit. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The historical adoption story is mostly desktop-office plumbing: wvWare states that its library was used by AbiWord, while wv2 was packaged by Unix distributions as a Word import library for KWord/KOffice-era workflows. The small Homebrew package is therefore a fossil from the period when free office suites had to reverse-engineer Microsoft binary formats. ### Wie es verwendet wird Developers used wv2 through its library and config helper rather than as a standalone document converter. Its value was in giving applications a way to parse old Word binary files for import or conversion before OOXML and newer document libraries became the dominant path. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren wv2 matters because it sits at the intersection of early open-source office suites, KDE/KOffice import filters, and the painful packaging of proprietary binary office formats. It is a small package, but it explains why old dependency graphs still contain libgsf-era Word import code. ### Zeitleiste - 2000-08-28: SourceForge records the wvWare project registration. - 2000: Dom Lachowicz took over wv maintenance from original author Caolan McNamara in late August 2000. - 2002: Debian packaging discussion described wv2 0.0.9 as an eventual replacement for wv. - 2005: wv 1.2.0 switched to libgsf, libxml2, and glib, reflecting GNOME-office-era library consolidation. ### Related projects - wv2 is related to wv/wvWare, AbiWord, KWord/KOffice, libgsf, and the broader family of document import libraries for legacy Microsoft Office formats. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** wv2 - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - wv2: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/wv/wv2/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - wv2: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/wv2/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [glib](https://pkg.so/de/brew/glib/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [libgsf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libgsf/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://pkg.so/de/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [wv](https://pkg.so/de/brew/wv/) - Package name indicates the same formula family. - [pymupdf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/pymupdf/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, document-processing, library. - [harfbuzz](https://pkg.so/de/brew/harfbuzz/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. - [gettext](https://pkg.so/de/brew/gettext/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. - [pango](https://pkg.so/de/brew/pango/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. - [libarchive](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libarchive/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. - [ada-url](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ada-url/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. - [libdeflate](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libdeflate/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, library. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
