Thanks for the NEWS warning; I included that in the pkgsrc commit message. I am guessing that pretty much nobody wants to use these any more, and that anything that needs to be done can be done by ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick or some such, and thus this is not a big deal, impacting perhaps only a few people, perphaps no actual people, running very old scripts. Is that a fair characterization? _______________________________________________ Tiff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff
