New version now available. Breaks API, so might be noisy (or might not). http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4397 for announcement
Yah I foresee trouble. not only the API changed (starting from the file openers), but also the utilities have been dropped. @graphics please bump under p.mask and prod me so I can run the tinderbox to check for this breakage, thanks!
5.0.2 is out
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Version bump -- masked until testing in the tree is finished http://sources.gentoo.org/media-libs/giflib/giflib-5.0.2.ebuild?rev=1.1
