GifLib5

Summary

Update the giflib package to the latest giflib-5.x version (currently 5.1.4).

Owner

Current status

Detailed Description

Update the giflib package to the latest giflib-5.x version (currently 5.1.4) and rebuild all dependencies. giflib-4.x is long since obsolete, and some packages are starting to drop support for giflib-4.x (i.e. leptonica). The update is being tested in this COPR repo.

Benefit to Fedora

Ship the latest giflib version.

Scope

  • Proposal owners:

- Rebuild all dependencies, possibly with some minor patching (porting, if necessary, is usually trivial, i.e. 

- DGifOpenFileName(fullname)
+ DGifOpenFileName(fullname, NULL)

- DGifCloseFile(GifFile)
+ DGifCloseFile(GifFile, NULL)

- DGifOpenFileHandle(fh);
+ DGifOpenFileHandle(fh, NULL);

The list of dependent packages at time of writing is: 

driftnet
efl
emacs
fbida
fontforge
gdal
giflib
imlib
imlib2
java-1.8.0-openjdk
java-9-openjdk
kdelibs
