Per libungif's pkg-descr, it's not just being unencumbered by patents, but also "implements a superset of that [giflib's] library's API".
It's a superset because it doesn't implement the LZW patented compression.
Regardless of the possible API and patent issues, what makes libgif a 'preferred' solution?
The fact that they shared the same codebase and now only giflib is developed (and has also LZW compression).
I see it this way: if 100% of ports can be happy with "official" libgif, let is be so (ditto for libungif).
I agree with you here. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/libungif/Makefile.diff?r1=1.46;r2=1.47;f=h -- Alex Dupre _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
