Package: xpcd
Severity: wishlist
There is a maintenance release (2.09) available at
<http://linux.bytesex.org/fbida/xpcd.html>.
However, the author mentions:
| xpcd is obsolete
|
| The 2.09 maintainance release very likely is the very last version
| ever released. I've stopped maintaining xpcd, it simply isn't needed
| any more today.
|
| xpcd main purpose is to allow decoding parts of the images to save
| some CPU time and memory. It was very nice many years ago where my
| good old i486/33 MHz with 16 MB RAM was a modern computer. With todays
| computers memory and CPU time for PhotoCD decoding are no issues any
| more, so this simply isn't needed. A general purpose image viewer like
| ida works equally well.
|
| On my current workstation (PIII/450 MHz, which isn't exactly new) ida
| reads and displays full-size (3072x2048) PhotoCD images in only three
| seconds, which makes any attempt to reduce decoding time by picking a
| region of the image manually pretty much obsolete ...
So perhaps this package can safely be removed from the archives.
Still filing at wishlist severity, though, leaving the decision to
you.
Cheers,
Flo
