The issue is required to be filed prior to feature submission, to ensure that someone is on board to do any process development work and testing, and that all changes make it into the pipeline; a bullet point in a change is not sufficient communication --> | The issue is required to be filed prior to feature submission, to ensure that someone is on board to do any process development work and testing, and that all changes make it into the pipeline; a bullet point in a change is not sufficient communication --> | ||

Change Proposal Name GifLib5
Summary
Update the giflib package to the latest giflib-5.x version (currently 5.1.4).
Owner
- Name: Sandro Mani
- Email: manisandro@gmail.com
- Release notes owner:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 28
- Last updated: 2018-01-24
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
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 kf5-khtml leptonica libextractor libgdiplus librasterlite2 libwebp MagicPoint mapserver mathgl metapixel ming mtpaint ocaml-camlimages OpenImageIO OpenSceneGraph perl-Imager perl-Prima python-gd sxiv tracker-miners vips WindowMaker xemacs xplanet
- Other developers:
Some help is required to do a bootstrap build of java-1.8.0-openjdk: it BuildRequires: java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel, hence a bootstrap build without giflib support is needed to be able to build against giflib-5.x (otherwise build-dependencies are not installable).
