BUG: repository update libungif renamed to giflib
Hi I am not sure if this has already been updated in the repo. I sent an email a few weeks ago, but didn't notice the message had an address error. libungif has been renamed to giflib. I recently updated my my system and found a few items was not able to compile due to a missing libungif. thanks all for CRUX. fernan

The old giflib page (http://www.catb.org/~esr/giflib/) links to libungif though :D I solved the problem by uploading libungif-4.1.4.tar.gz on crux.nu.

Ah, thanks Brett. I'm not sure whether we can just replace libungif with giflib; some applications might only build with the former.

Their little blurb on the sourceforge page says it's "API and ABI" compatible with libungif, so, I'd assume it should be a simple drop-in replacement. I guess we could throw it in for 2.4, test it, see if anyone reports a breakage and if no one does, roll with it. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
Attached is a libungif-to-giflib conversion for opt, complete with a giflib port and the removal of libungif. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc

I should mention that you should run revdep afterwords to make sure you rebuild all the things which get broken by the libungif to libgif change. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
