Description Norayr Chilingarian 2024-07-17 13:40:16 UTC
hello, my understanding is that most up to date and maintained version of xv image viewer (my favourite ever) is here: https://github.com/jasper-software/xv

should the gentoo ebuild be updated? we'll get lots of updates, see commits, even webp support.
Comment 1 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2024-07-17 14:11:23 UTC
This package is currently without a gentoo maintainer.  I'd be interested in taking it on, but it looks like a good amount of the ebuild will need rewritten.  We need to see which of our patches have been made obsolete, and also make use of the new cmake build system.
