Hey, received bug 923022 - looks like the version bump on libnsgif renames the header file from libnsgif.h to nsgif.h breaking at least one rdep. Could we symlink the new .h to also include the old .h? It'd probably be easy to patch at least this one rdep, but there are more https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-libs/libnsgif/reverse-dependencies

Sorry about that, I didn't consider the non-netsurf consumers of this when I added the new version. I only recently added myself as maintainer, and this is the first version bump. The API has major changes from what I understand. Porting may not be too difficult since I don't see any huge overhaul commits to netsurf itself; nevertheless, the best way forward is probably to add bounds on its reverse dependencies until they can be updated. Next time, I'll know better and will warn everyone ahead of time.
Yeah don't worry, upstream doing upstream things :) I've reported the breakage on ahoviewer upstream too, waiting for a fix there. I'll restrict the version for now, but need to check whether the libnsgif.so is linked or not. Yeah I doubt much can be done on our side to fix it. Reopen if you feel other rdeps may benefit from this bug. Thanks for stepping to maintain these packages though!
