This was in the tree at least from 2005 (possibly before) up until about five years ago when it suddenly disappeared (and I can't seem to find the reason it did). Home page: https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips Why this is useful (1): https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/wiki/Speed-and-memory-use Why this is useful (2): It is one of the very few programs available for linux that supports .heic (HEVC).
Here is reason why it was removed # Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> (28 Dec 2017) # A major version bump is needed (#412447), fails with multilib-strict # (#613542), not compatible with newer imagemagick (#619514), cannot be # downloaded (#635566). Removal in a month. media-libs/vips media-gfx/nip2
Please have a look at these ebuilds http://gpo.zugaina.org/media-libs/vips test, report and improve them. I suggest to work hand in hand with the overlay maintainer at first. As soon as someone provides a clean ebuild and wants to maintain it, we can reintroduce it to the tree.
Was re-added to ::gentoo in: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=268a9029004a Hadn't realized this used to be in the tree, but well it's back now. nip2 isn't, I don't have a personal interest in it but if someone want it I wouldn't be against it.
