libvips
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Name: libvips
Homepage
Why: I am attempting to use it in a personal programming project. Reasons to be included are its superior performance to that of ImageMagick, or GraphicsMagick (which is broken anyway).
Open Source: Yes
Users: Myself most certainly, maybe a few others. Most likely just other packages.
Tarball: https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/releases/download/v8.5.8/vips-8.5.8.tar.gz

For what it's worth, I was trying to package it myself, and though it seemed to succeed, the feature I am wanting (SVG rendering scaling specifically) didn't work for me.

Umm, what?

Also, removed the package.yml. If it's accepted for inclusion, you submit a patch, not sharing around package.yml files.

Ah, my bad.

As for the GraphicsMagick bit, T4163 is what I was referring to.

I'm willing to keep poking at this, but I'm not sure if it's a packaging issue, or upstream. I certainly don't I have the expertise to fix anything.

However, aside from the one issue I'm looking at, I've not found any other issues with the package, so should I get things in shape, then submit as is?

@W-Floyd Once you sort out the issue you're currently looking at (assuming it's with libvips or a dep for it), then yea, feel free to submit. It's accepted for inclusion =)

Hmm. Well, we shall see then. I have been trying to work with this most of today, don't have any ideas.

Chances are, this will have to wait a while, I've got just over a month of school left to do. So I'll keep this claimed, but if anyone else wants to take it, be my guest.

Exams finished last week. I have no clue how to deal with this - I just don't have the expertise to know where the issue lies.
