Starting back in 2007 it is recorded in the #crux archives that the expiration of the GIF patent had deprecated libungif as far as CRUX was to be concerned. Today there is still collision in the known ports 'verse and maybe it is time to do something about it.
The following depend on libungif:
syl emacs 24.4-1 stdevel fbida 2.07-1 romster imlib 1.9.15-2 romster scm-imlib2 cvs-1 vico wmaker-crm 0.95.0-crm-1 contrib xplanet 1.3.0-1
Nothing seems to depend on libungif-32.
There are depends on conflicts where installation of both giflib and libungif can be attempted by prt-get depinst.
Does it make sense to eradicate libungif ports?
It's up to the various maintainers. contrib/xplanet is probably just an oversight since libungif hasn't been in the crux depos for quite some time.
Does it make sense to turn libungif into a prt-get alias of giflib?
That's for each user to decide.
