* Package name : flif Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Author : Jon Sneyers <jon.sney...@gmail.com> * URL : http://flif.info/ * License : Currently: GPLv3+ (encoder), LGPLv3+ (decoder) (will probably change soon to more permissive license) Programming Lang: C++ Description : Free Lossless Image Format (FLIF) encoder/decoder FLIF is a lossless image (and animation) format. It tends to compress better than other image compression formats. This is the reference implementation of the FLIF encoder/decoder. The command-line utility 'flif' converts FLIF to/from PNG or PNM. The source package would have multiple binary packages: - flif (command line tool) - libflif (shared library) - viewflif (simple image/animation viewer) - gif2flif (shell script) - apng2flif (shell script) I am trying to put all necessary Debian packaging config files directly in the upstream git repository, at: https://github.com/FLIF-hub/FLIF Version 0.2.0 of flif has not actually been released yet, the most recent version is 0.2.0rc5, which may or may not become 0.2. At some point in February 2016, I expect to go from "release candidate" to the actual "release". This will be the first 'stable' release (in the sense that the file format will remain compatible). I hope to have flif included in the Debian archive when this release will be announced. I am new at Debian packaging, so while I _think_ most of the packaging work is done, it would help to have a more experienced co-maintainer who can check and improve my effort at packaging. Also I will certainly need a sponsor.
