Bug 814212 – media-gfx/exiv2: Add BMFF support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Updated ebuild for the latest release of exiv2 adding a local use flag to enable/disable ISOBMFF support

Per the discussions on the exiv2 github (https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/1229#issuecomment-727190658) regarding ISOBMFF (required for CR3 and 2 other file format support), the release 0.27.4 supports it if enabled in the build.

The current CMake arguments list for building exiv2 on Gentoo does not include this option.

I propose an updated ebuild which includes a new package-specific use flag to enable ISOBMFF support, which then in turn enables darktable to support CR3 files. I will later file a separate update for the darktable ebuild introducing a cr3 use-flag to make sure this one is activate for the exiv2 build, as this is a highly anticipated support feature (see https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/2170#issuecomment-921237592)

I'm happy to provide any other information needed.

For more clarity:

The specific file formats the ISOBMFF support brings to Darktable (and other dependencies) are CR3, AVIF, HEIF. This is a significant added value in my opinion.

Would you mind attaching a git am-able patch, with the GCO sign off included?

I can provide a patch file, but not sure how to make the am-able patch with the sign off included version.

Would it be easier if I submitted as a PR through github? I can patch the link here easily enough.
