tiffcrop was the reason, why we have moved this tool and other tools to the 
archive. IMHO tiffcrop is NOT maintainable!  See 
https://www.asmail.be/msg0055010410.html 
Yes, for some really rare cases, an issue of tiffcrop could be solved by 
changing something in the LibTIFF. 
I am absolutely not keen on getting tiffcrop back.

My proposal will be to reactivate and maintain only the tools needed by 
someone, especially those mentioned by you (fax2ps, tiff2bw, tiffdither, 
tiff2ps, tiff2pdf, tiffcp). 
At least as a starting point to go stepwise.

Regards,
Su

Betreff: [Tiff] working through wontfix-unmaintained bugs

I'm working through the "wontfix-unmaintained" bugs now...

https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=closed&label_name%5B%5D=wontfix-unmaintained&first_page_size=100

... and so far I've reviewed 7 of the tiffcrop issues (#595, 594, 593, 590, 
573, 569, 568), and it appears to me that all of them have already been 
resolved sometime between the release of v4.5.0 and now.  Two commits that 
appear to have been part of the solutions are 5320c9d8 on
2023-10-31 and 42173d6a on 2022-12-08 (which were for the library, generally, 
and don't necessarily appear to be specific to tiffcrop).

I'll continue through the rest of these, but is there anyone who believes that 
there is good reason to not consider that these issues are resolved already?

It kind of looks like maybe tiffcrop was just a convenient utility to access 
some libtiff inputs which previously went unchecked.

Thanks,

Lee.
