-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
giflib 3.x has a nasty security bug (#395382). I uploaded giflib 4.x to NEW two days ago, which fixed, amongst others, this bug. Since, oviously, giflib 3.x and giflib 4.x are not compatible, one would expect that a transition is needed, but that isn't the case. Since giflib was until very recently considered to violate patents, no package[0] does declare a relation to giflib, all packages are using libungif instead. Now, that all patent claims are outdated, I'm re-introducing giflib, harmonize giflib and libungif, and start a tansition after etch release. But in the meantime while waiting for NEW, I recommend to remove giflib from testing.
