[ITA] xloadimage


xloadimage is an X11 image viewer and processor. The Cygwin package was orphaned by Jari earlier this month [1].

xloadimage hasn't been updated for 20 years, and is effectively maintained out of Debian with a growing number of patches, some of which are quite substantial. xloadimage is (almost entirely) obsoleted by ImageMagick, but there are some legacy image formats that xloadimage supports that ImageMagick does not. So for this reason it deserves at least one more outing.

xloadimage is still found in Debian, Fedora and their respective offshoots [2].

This build has the latest patch set from Debian (29 in total), one patch from Fedora, and a patch of my own making that fixes the CMUWM image handling in 64-bit. Packaging is through cygport, and is heavily inspired by the Fedora 'spec' file.

This is the first build of xloadimage for 64-bit. However, for my own sanity, the build number is '-2' for both architectures.

Many thanks in advance for looking at this package,

Dave.
