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 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
A compat-giflib will be briefly introduced to help the transition.
