Description Ferdinand Mraz 2004-11-12 07:14:27 UTC
Problem with TIF encoding or reading.

http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=500

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Ferdinand Mraz 2004-11-12 08:11:07 UTC
I try emerge tiff-3.7.0 and all created tiff is correct.
Comment 2 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2004-11-12 14:49:24 UTC
There only two active Hylafax versions; 4.1.8 (x86) and 4.2.0 (~x86).  Only the 
latter new release works with any tiff after 3.5 and only tiff 3.7.0 is fixed.

Was there something unclear about the ewarn info in Hylafax 4.1.8:

        ewarn "Proper fax2tiff support now requires libtiff 3.5.5 until there"
        ewarn "is an upstream fix for bug #48077.  You must use this version"
        ewarn "of fax2tiff if you need conversion of G3 files, however, you"
        ewarn "you must still build hylafax against tiff-3.5.7-r1 or better."
        ewarn "I repeat: do not try to build hylafax or anything else against"
        ewarn "tiff-3.5.5 because it won't work.  You've been warned."

If so I can try to re-write it, however, I suspect you'll be happier with the 
latest tiff 3.7.0 and Hylafax 4.2.0.  Otherwise, please explain your need to 
use a broken tiff version with Hylafax.
Comment 3 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2004-11-12 15:04:25 UTC
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude, but this whole tiff thing has been a royal 
PITA and has gone on far too long (many subtle upstream bugs).  The only fix 
I can offer is the one now in portage, i.e., Hylafax 4.2.0 and tiff 3.7.0, 
which actually works for the first time in recent memory.  It seems the tiff 
bugs may be fixed at last...  Since I have no adverse reports with this combo 
yet, please stick with the above versions.  Thanks.

PS. It's safe to add hylafax and tiff to /etc/portage/package.keywords and 
emerge as normal.

I'm running Hylafax 4.2.0 and tiff 3.7.0, and my tiff's are still corrupt.

Comment 5 Steven Wagner 2004-11-18 12:01:54 UTC
Can someone past some older ebuilds that work maybe?  I really need to get my fax working.

tiff-3.5.7-r2.ebuild (complete with old bugs)

This ebuild should work with Hylafax at least through 4.1.8, however, it has
all 
the old security risks, and still has a broken fax2tiff for G3 files.

config.site for 3.5.7 ebuild

Put this in your portage overlay in media-libs/tiff/files for the 3.5.7 ebuild.
Comment 8 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2004-11-18 17:41:26 UTC
We need to find out why tiff 3.7.0 barfs for you.  It's most likely an upstream 
bug, but at the very least I'd like to submit a bug there (depending on what we 
find).  Also, if the above 3.5.7 doesn't fix it for you, then I might need to 
get the old 3.5.5 out of CVS.

So let me know if this is a valid work-around for you, and I also need to know more about this new problem.  Can you please post a new bug with all your info 
on the tiff 3.7.0 error?  Thanks.
Comment 9 Ferdinand Mraz 2004-11-19 14:34:56 UTC
I run "emerge hylafax ncpfs" and I work in another console so I don't see ewarn message.
I try find ewarn messages in the /var/log/emerge.log I don't find it there.
Are this ewarn messages loging somewhere?

I'm running:
[ebuild     U ] net-misc/hylafax-4.2.0-r1 [4.1.8-r4] -faxonly +jpeg +pam 1,320 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/tiff-3.7.0  1,215 kB
and my tiffs are OK. 

I try next week emerge hylafax-4.2.0-r1
into my server and I send report if are tiffs OK.
