Description Pablo Cholaky 2016-11-28 19:34:12 UTC

Please support s2tc as replacement for s3tc to avoid license problems.

I know we are close for s3tc license expiration, but we can't make people to accept a license for that if there is a free option currently.

Ebuild taken from zugaina, and tested since lot of time without much problem, quality degradation can be seen, but not really a big problem

More info about s2tc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S2TC
