Re: [ITP] libungif-4.1.0-2


This one seems okay to me. There is one minor discrepancy:

If you run 'libungif-4.1.0-2.sh all' you do NOT get the same -src package...

This is because the mkpatch() procedure will generate a very large patch which if applied to a pristine source directory will make it unnecessary to run "aclocal && libtoolize --force" on the post-patched directory.

You should either
1) change mkpatch() to only create a diff between your populated libungif-4.1.0\CYGWIN-PATCHES directory and an empty libungif-4.1.0-orig\CYGWIN-PATCHES, and keep the "aclocal && libtoolize --force" command in conf(), or
2) Lapo runs "aclocal && libtoolize --force" by hand, and then uses mkpatch to create a gigantic patch that includes not only libungif-4.1.0\CYGWIN-PATCHES, but also the libtoolization bits. "aclocal && libtoolize --force" is removed from conf().

Also, it should probably be "aclocal && libtoolize --force --copy && automake --gnu --copy --add-missing --force-missing && autoconf" but that's just me.

--Chuck

P.S. since libungif's configure.in does not have an AC_PREREQ() line, the wrapper scripts for the autotools choose the -devel- versions by default. This is good.

This time it uses no patch but a simple "aclocal && libtoolize --force" in the "conf" phase.

(binary package is bigger because I also included the "doc" subdirectory in the install, or else people with only binary would have no help on commands)

load any GIF file, but it will save GIFs only in uncompressed format

compressed GIF files)."
