axs: any interest in taking maint on this package?
Comment 4 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-29 19:26:44 UTC
Nope.  but i'll see if i can fix this issue.  IIRC there's been quite a few upstream commits since the last release.

What's the version of giflib that you folks have installed?  5.0.6 ?

I've actually got, 4.2.3-r1.

Upstream did have patches but they were messed, so i rolled my own.
