Mail sent to pngtools upstream maintainer.
Comment 4 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-08-05 06:14:00 UTC
Can someone please determine if both pngcp tools serve the same purpose?

(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #4)
> Can someone please determine if both pngcp tools serve the same purpose?

libpng: This program does not provide a command line help. Looking at the sources, a comment states its purpose like this:

 * This is an example of copying a PNG without changes using the png_read_png
 * and png_write_png interfaces.  A considerable number of options are provided
 * to manipulate the compression of the PNG data and other compressed chunks.

Looking at the source, the program supports a large number of options like e.g. "strict", "text-compression" and many others.

pngtools: Comes with a nice command line help, indicating only two options, both of which don't appear to be covered by the libpng tool:

Usage: pngcp [-d <target bitdepth>] [-s <target samples per pixel>] <input filename> <output filename>

So I'd say these two tools are not equivalent.

See also what the Debian guys did about this:

>   - Consider re-enabling it if ineeded, but for now the
>     tool has no manpage and no help command.
>   - An alternative might be to make pngtools and libpng-tools
>     conflict each others.

I can second their view: even if the tool shipped by libpng may be theoretically more powerful, its features are so far from discoverable that the tool is essentially useless to end users. Use a revbump to drop that file or rename it, then let upstream work out their conflict and improve usability of the libpng version.
Comment 6 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-01 06:46:58 UTC
libpng-1.6.25 no longer installs pngcp.
Comment 7 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-02-06 00:38:24 UTC
media-libs/libpng-1.6.24 is no longer in the tree.
