Hello devs. I've attached an ebuild for gifsicle. It's not a large or stange package, so the ebuild doesn't do anything exotic. Gifsicle is a simple, yet fairly powerful, command line tool for manipulating animated .gif images. The package also includes gifdiff which is a nice little tool for comparing gifs, and gifview which is an X app for viewing gifs (stepping through frames, previewing animation, etc.) USE="-X" will tell it not to build gifview. Also, if USE does not include "gif", gifsicle will be built without LZW compression support. It will use legally-unencumbered RLE compression on its output .gif files, which though substantially larger, will still work with ordinary gif readers. This should probably go under media-gfx.
Created an attachment (id=4459) [details] gifsicle=1.35.ebuild Here's the gifsicle-1.35.ebuild.
There's been a couple new bugfix versions (the current is now 1.37); the .ebuild requires no modifications. http://www.lcdf.org/~eddietwo/gifsicle/ If it's not being put into portage because of a lack of a maintainer, I'm completely willing to don that hat. If it's because I'm the only person who actually uses the thing, I can live with that too.
